Quinn’s Post - ANZAC trench & tunnel map

Quinn’s Post was the most advanced ANZAC post, located on the northern edge of the main ANZAC line. Along with Pope’s Hill, it was one of the keys to the Monash and Shrapnel valleys. If it had fallen the Turks could have broken into the heart of the ANZAC position. This plan of Quinn’s Post was made by Sapper (later Lieutenant) Ronald McInnis. It shows Quinn’s Post as it was in November and December 1915. As well as showing all the trenches, saps and tunnels at Quinn’s, it also shows interesting features such as the sleeping terraces established by Lieutenant Colonel William Malone of the Wellington Battalion and the locations of explosions of Turkish mines. The plan also includes a table detailing the exploding of mines at Quinn’s Post and the results of the explosions.
