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.

Mother advised by cable, 15 June 1915: 'Regret son ... wounded not seriously no other particulars available ...' Mother wrote to Army, 30 July 1915: '... no news since. I am very much worried about him.' Base Records, Melbourne, replied: ' ... he is not reported as seriously wounded, and Egypt advises in the absence of further reports, it is to be assumed all wounds are progressing satisfactorily. It is regretted that the nature of his wound and the hospital in which he is located are at present unknown.' Mrs Drummond then wrote to the Minister for Defence, Senator George Pearce, on 23 August 1915, as did Alexander Gilion JP, to whom Mrs Drummond had also written. Base Records replied, 6 September 1915, saying that Sen. Pearce had no more information, and requesting Mrs Drummond to supply the name, number and unit of the soldier who had told her that her son was missing, concluding: 'we will enquire on her behalf'. Base Records wrote, 6 September 1915, ' ... our reports from Egypt are, on the whole, very accurate, and the percentage of errors which creep in very small.' Mrs Drummond wrote back, 10 September 1915: 'I was very much disappointed to learn that you could not supply me with any information with regards to my son ... this is the young man that said he was reported missing in the trenches: 647 F. Mathers, 2nd Bn, Machine Gun Section. P.S. It is almost 15 weeks since I received a cable saying he was wounded [and] it is very odd that I have had no word from him before this as he used to write so regular before. [T]he last letter I received from him was written on April 24.'
