	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.

	Battle of Sari Bair - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scimitar Hill had been captured then abandoned on 8 August; attempts to retake the hill on 9 and 10 August were thwarted by the Turks.
		The 29th Division was to attack Scimitar Hill while the 11th Division was to take the W Hills on the south of the Anafarta Spur.
		Scimitar Hill was captured briefly but the attackers were driven off or killed by the defensive fire from the Turks higher up the spur.

	Hill 60 New Zealand Memorial
		Hill 60 Cemetery is in the Northern part of the Anzac area, bordering on the Suvla Bay area.
		It stands among the trenches made in the Actions of Hill 60 (still visible in May 2000), and it was made after the Armistice by the concentration of 42 graves from the battlefield.
		The Hill 60 Memorial takes the form of an obelisk 22 feet high, rising from a stone platform placed in the middle of the cemetery, and the names are inscribed on panels built into the masonry at the base of the obelisk.

	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.

	Battle of Hill 60 (Gallipoli) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was launched on August 21, 1915 to coincide with the attack on Scimitar Hill made from the Suvla front by General Stopford's British IX Corps.
		Hill 60 was a low knoll at the northern end of the Sari Bair range which dominated the Suvla landing.
		Capturing this hill along with Scimitar Hill would have allowed the Anzac and Suvla landings to be securely linked.

	First World War.com - Battles - The Battle of Hill 60, 1915
		The Battle of Hill 60, conducted by Anzac commander William Birdwood, was designed to support General Henry de Beauvoir de Lisle's far larger attack at Scimitar Hill on the same day in what comprised the final British attack at Gallipoli.
		Hill 60 - named, as was often the case with such features during the war, after its height in metres (although referred to as Kaiajik Aghyl by the Turks) - was the sole prominent feature sited between Anzac Cove and Suvla Bay.
		As was the case during the earlier attempt to capture the Sari Bair ridge from Anzac Cove on 6 August, reconnaissance proved highly problematic owing to the effectiveness of Turkish sniping.

	The Battles
		On 21 August, for the Australians of the 4th Brigade-men of the 13th and 14th Battalions-the initial assault on Hill 60 was a costly failure.
		Scimitar Hill now became the focus of a chaotic battle that raged to and fro as both sides gained temporary local superiority.
		On 10 August an assault by 53rd Division on Scimitar Hill was a terrible failure and was eventually abandoned having achieved nothing but a hefty casualty list and another division had been ruined during its first two days of action.

		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).

	The Birds of Doi Inthanon National Park
		While this may be partly due to coverage (some other vegetation types, for example, pine forest, are less frequently visited by birdwatchers and certainly support a few more species than recorded here) this nevertheless does appear to accurately reflect the real differences in bird species diversity among these various zones.
		The small area of hill evergreen forest above 2000 meters (Zone 1), has probably been covered even more intensively than Zone 2 and although it supports a number of rare and local high elevation species which are not found elsewhere, it yet supports fewer species overall than does Zone 2.
		Doi Inthanon is of particular conservation importance for those species which inhabit the moist hill evergreen forests of the upper slopes.

	Saudi Aramco World : The Ghosts at Gallipoli (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Viewed at dusk from the waterfront of Çanakkale (Chanak), across the straits, Gallipoli is a succession of purple-brown hills silhouetted against an auburn sky, the deceptively calm waters painted gold by reflected sunset.
		And from the turquoise Gulf of Saros to the west, the peninsula appears as a land of steep hills interlaced with ravines, and dominated by the Sari Bayir (Bair) range rising almost 600 meters (1,000 feet).
		Most are close to the road but others, like Baby 700, named for a hill, or The Farm, can be reached only by traversing narrow footpaths or steep tracks accessible by four-wheel drive vehicles, where the ubiquitous Gallipoli tortoises move laboriously in search of some tasty weeds.

		Sadly, although these look like the Scimitar switch, they are situated in a different part of the radiator, and switch at a higher temperature.
		The fan should come on when the water at the lower portion of the radiator exceeds a preset temperature, indicating that the radiator and any airflow due to car motion is not able to dissipate the heat that has come in to it from the engine outlet.
		Most Scimitars you come across have had a switch wired in to manually bring the fan on and over-ride the otter switch.
