Green Hill Commonwealth War Graves Commission Cemetery

Green Hill Cemetery is a Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery located near Suvla Bay, Gallipoli, Turkey.

Green Hill and Chocolate Hill were names given by Allied troops taking part in the landing at Suvla Bay in August 1915 to parts of a hill called in Turkish Yilghin Burnu and which rises 52 metres above sea level from the eastern shore of the salt lake. The hill was captured the day after the landing, on 7 August 1915, but remained on the front line until the Allied withdrawal from the area in late December.

The cemetery was built on the hill after the Armistice when graves from the battlefield and small burial grounds nearby were consolidated into it.

Notable graves
Amongst the graves in the cemetery is that of Private Harry Salter of the 6th Battalion, East Lancashire Regiment, one of three British soldiers executed by the British Army during the Battle of Gallipoli. He was shot for repeated desertion on 11 December 1915.

The cemetery also contains the grave of Second Lieutenant William Niven, father of the actor David Niven.
