The Battle of the Nek (Turkish: Kılıçbayır Muharebesi) was a minor battle that took place on 7 August 1915, during the Gallipoli campaign of World War I. "The Nek" was a narrow stretch of ridge on the Gallipoli Peninsula. The name derives from the Afrikaans word for a "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.

  • A batalha do Nek foi uma pequena batalha da Primeira Guerra Mundial travada no âmbito da Campanha de Galípoli. O "Nek" era uma estreita faixa de tergo na enseada Anzac na península de Gallipoli. O nome da batalha deriva da palavra em língua africâner que significa "passagem na montanha". (pt)
  • معركة ذا نيك (بالتركية: Kılıçbayır Muharebesi)‏ هي اشتباك محدود وقع في 7 أغسطس 1915، أثناء حملة جاليبولي للحرب العالمية الأولى، «ذا نيك» هو امتدادًا ضيقًا للتلال في شبه جزيرة جاليبولي، والاسم مشتق من الكلمة الأفريكانية لـ «ممر جبلي» ولكن التضاريس نفسها كانت عنق زجاجة مثالي وسهلة الدفاع عنه.

  • La bataille du Nek (en turc : Kılıçbayır Muharebesi) est une bataille mineure qui s'est déroulée le 7 août 1915, pendant la campagne de Gallipoli (Première Guerre mondiale). Le « Nek » est une étroite portion de crête sur la péninsule de Gallipoli. Le nom dérive du mot afrikaans désignant un « col de montagne », mais le terrain lui-même est un goulot d'étranglement parfait et facile à défendre, comme l'a prouvé une attaque ottomane en juin. Il relie les tranchées australiennes et néo-zélandaises sur la crête connue sous le nom de « Russell's Top » au monticule appelé « Baby 700 » sur lequel les défenseurs ottomans sont retranchés. (fr)
  • La battaglia di Nek fu un ridotto scontro avvenuto durante la prima guerra mondiale, durante la campagna dei Dardanelli. Il Nek è uno stretto tratto di una cresta poco lontano dall'ANZAC Cove, dove mesi prima erano sbarcati gli australiani e i neozelandesi. Il nome deriva dalla lingua afrikaans e significa passo di montagna. Esso collega le trincee dell'Anzac dalla cresta Russell's Top alla collinetta Baby 700, dove i turchi avevano le loro trincee. L'area del Nek si estende per un territorio di circa tre campi da tennis. (it)
