The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The name derives from the Afrikaans word for 'mountain pass', but the terrain itself was a perfect bottleneck and easy to defend, as had been proven during an Ottoman attack in June.
- It connected Australian and New Zealand trenches on the ridge known as "Russell's Top" to the knoll called "Baby 700" on which the Ottoman defenders were entrenched.
- The campaign on the Gallipoli Peninsula had begun in April 1915, but over the following months had developed into a stalemate.
