The Battle of Kanlişirt (Bloody Ridge) was a fierce conflict between Greek and Turkish soldiers during the 2nd Inönu/Avgín-Koovališta campaign in Asia Minor on March 22–30, 1921. The steep hill at right flank held by elements from 10th Regiment led to multiple changes of sides throughout the battle involving around ten thousand men total with a ratio between Greek and Turkish soldiers that was roughly 1:2 respectively (around 1950 Greeks). During this 6-day struggle against stiff counterattacks which rendered five commanding officers casualties, they were eventually dislodged.
