    The Ottoman artillery at Anzac consisted of a variety of field guns, howitzers, and mortars positioned in well-fortified and concealed locations along the shore. The artillery branches included foot artillery, field artillery, and heavy coastal artillery that had defended the Dardanelles for centuries. At the divisional level, artillery regiments contained batteries equipped with Krupp-made 75mm and 87mm field guns, as well as heavier howitzers and mortars with ranges from 4,800 to 7,450 meters. These Ottoman guns engaged the Australian and New Zealand forces from entrenched positions and helped stalemate the fighting at Anzac Cove through effective trench warfare artillery support.
