About

Located in the Çiftlik Neighborhood of Çeşme, opposite the seaside Captain's School, it was built in memory of the soldiers who fell in the War of Independence.

A reused column with a square plinth, a single-toroid structure, and a broken top is inscribed with an inscription. The inscription depicts a crescent moon and a fruit-bearing olive branch. It stands on a podium accessed by two steps and has a five-tiered, high base, and an inscribed column. The top of the column is cut diagonally, and a crescent star motif is carved into this section. The inscription on the column reads "Monument to Martyr Mehmet, Heroes of the War of 1914."
