Shrapnel Valley was an essential road from the beach up to the Anzac front and took its name from the heavy shelling it was given by the Turks on 26 April 1915. Wells were sunk there and water obtained in small quantities, and there were camps and depots on the south side of its lower reaches. Gun positions were made near its mouth. The cemetery was made mainly during the occupation, but some isolated graves were brought in from the valley after the Armistice. 85 of the burials are unidentified but special memorials commemorate 23 casualties known or believed to be buried among them.

* Walter HOPPER (893) is commemorated on panel 13 at Lone Pine, he is also buried in Shrapnel Valley Cemetery - grave III. E. 9.
