	Battle of Scimitar Hill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scimitar Hill, so named because of its curved summit, and the neighbouring W Hills to the south were part of the Anafarta Spur that marked the southern edge of the Suvla sector.
		Scimitar Hill, which guarded the approach to this ridge from the southwest along the Anafarta Spur, had been captured unopposed by the 6th Battalion, The East Yorkshire Regiment, on 8 August but was then abandoned.
		The plan for 21 August was to attack Scimitar Hill with the 29th Division and the W Hills with the 11th Division, keeping the yeomanry in reserve near the beach.

	First World War.com - Battles - The Battle of Scimitar Hill, 1915
		The Battle of Scimitar Hill, which ran alongside the Battle of Hill 60 on 21 August 1915, comprised a last-ditch effort by the Allied force under Mediterranean Commander-in-Chief Sir Ian Hamilton to break north from Anzac Cove and north and east of Suvla Bay, thus linking the 5km distance between the two sectors.
		The attack on Scimitar Hill (by British commander Henry de Beauvoir de Lisle) was itself the final British offensive conducted on the Gallipoli Front prior to evacuation in December 1915/January 1916.
		The plan required that hills to the east and north of Suvla Bay be attacked and captured as a subsidiary aim of the battle, but that the so-called 'W Hills' Turkish position and Scimitar Hill further south be placed into Allied hands as a priority.

		Hill 60, or Kaiajik Aghala (10), was described by Charles Bean, as "little more than a swelling in the plain", but "near its foot were two useful wells" (11) (a strategic feature in the thirsty Gallipoli campaign).
		By the time darkness had fallen, the British position on Hill 60 had depth but faced a complex maze of enemy trenches to the east and was flanked to the north by a long trench, gently winding from west to east toward the summit of the hill.
		This account states that, for the attack on August 22, the Hill was held by the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the 21st Turkish Regiment from the 7th Division, recently reinforced by the 2nd and possibly the 1st Battalions of the 33rd Regiment of the same Division (20).

		If an elephant was wounded in battle and reversed his course, breaking his own phalanx, the mahout was forced to drive a chisel down between the beast’s ears with a mallet (Livy XXVII, 46-49).
		In the battle between the Carthaginians and Regulus, the Spartan commander, Xanthippus, sent forth his elephants in advance of the phalanx; Regulus did not know that open order was the way to meet them, and they ploughed through the massed legionaries with a devastating effect.
		Many have surmised that the battle of Raphia, where Indian and African elephants met, demonstrated that the African is inferior because of its defeat there.

	The Battle Of The Strong by Gilbert Parker : Arthur's Classic Novels
		Delagarde instantly drew his sword and attacked Rullecour, but was cut down from behind by the scimitar of a swaggering Turk, who had joined the expedition as aide- de-camp to the filibustering general, tempted thereto by promises of a harem of the choicest Jersey ladies, well worthy of this cousin of the Emperor of Morocco.
		Wild with rage he made a stroke at her, but at that instant his scimitar was struck aside by a youth covered with the smoke and grime of battle.
		Now that scene all came back to her in a flash, as it were; and she saw again the dark snarling face of the Mussulman, the blue-and-white silk of his turban, the fl and white of his waistcoat, the red of the long robe, and the glint of his uplifted sword.
