The Lone Pine Memorial, situated in the Lone Pine Cemetery at Anzac, is the main Australian Memorial on Gallipoli, and one of four memorials to men of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force. Designed by Sir John Burnet, the principal architect of the Gallipoli cemeteries, it is a thick tapering pylon 14.3 metres high on a square base 12.98 metres wide. It is constructed from limestone mined at Ilgardere in Turkey.

The Memorial commemorates the 3268 Australians and 456 New Zealanders who have no known grave and the 960 Australians and 252 New Zealanders who were buried at sea after evacuation through wounds or disease. The names of New Zealanders commemorated are inscribed on stone panels mounted on the south and north sides of the pylon, while those of the Australians are listed on a long wall of panels in front of the pylon and to either side. Names are arranged by unit and rank.

The Memorial stands over the centre of the Turkish trenches and tunnels which were the scene of heavy fighting during the August offensive. Most cemeteries on Gallipoli contain relatively few marked graves, and the majority of Australians killed on Gallipoli are commemorated here.

Pte Binks also told informant that he and Pte Saunders had been with Macbeth in the cover and that Macbeth was then in dying condition. Biks had looked at the identification disc of Macbeth. They had also shouted to a M.G. section not to fire on the bushes as there was a dying Australian under them.N.B. According to list Macbeth was reported wounded on April 29. Informant states that he is certain he died of wounds on the evening of April 25.'

Second statement, 96 Pte W. EGAN, A Company, 1st Bn, 3 January 1916: 'While lying down in the front line on the hill he was hit by an explosive bullet in the mouth and apparently killed instantaneously, for he never moved. Witness was only a few yards away and saw the occurrence. He was probably buried in the large pit above the beach.'

Third statement, 198 Pte W. McJACKETT, A Company, 1st Bn, 20 February 1916: 'Witness is apparently a reliable intelligent man. He states that Macbeth was first wounded on the mouth, but that was not serious. He was killed on Monday 26th April. A bullet passed through his chest. Witness actually saw him dead.'
