Dead Mans House

[Chutist33]

Hi All. Can any pal give me the location of Dead Mans House in the Suvla sector please? It is mentioned as being the firing line on 13 August 1915 in the diary of 5th Dorsets and of 8th Northumberland Fusiliers. I am interested in the attack made by 8 NF on 19 August 1915 "about 700 yards in front of our line and 1000 yards south of W Hill". Does anyone know the site of one or either the above please? Best wishes, Jim K

All the best
