The Dur Yolcu Monument, consisting of two verses of the poem "Dur Yolcu" and two figures, is located on the slope of the hill behind the Değirmen Burnu Bastion. it was built in 1960 by a group of soldiers who were doing their military service in the garrison in the region. The Dur Passenger Monument, located directly opposite the Çanakkale Center, is illuminated at night. The Stop Passenger Monument, which can be seen by all ships passing through the Dardanelles Strait, can also be easily seen from the Dardanelles side. The part of the Stop Passenger poem, which belongs to the poet Necmettin Halil Onan, located on the hillside is as follows; "Stop Passenger! This land, which you came and stepped on unknowingly, is the place where an era sank." If your way falls into Çanakkale, take a deep breath and look around carefully. Stop, Passenger, the monument will greet you in all its glory. The entire poem is as follows: TO A PASSENGER Stop, passenger! You came unknowingly and stepped This land is the place where an era sinks in. Bend down and listen, this silent pile A homeland is where your heart beats. At the end of this deserted, shadowless road This bump you see in Anatolia, For the sake of independence, on the path of honor It is the place where Mehmed, who died, lies. This bump is a big bump when it breaks off, The last piece of homeland is captured while passing through, The flood in which Mehmed drowned the enemy It is the place where he added his blessed blood. Think of the blood, bones, flesh that is being harvested This bump he made, relentless, tough At the end of a war, the whole nation Freedom is where he tastes his pleasure. NECMETTIN HALIL ONAN
