Abstract
Every moment of the battle of Gallipoli has experienced so many feats. Sometimes it might seem as if some of the heroisms were undervalued. For in-stance, the artillery and artillerymen of the Anatolian side of Çanakkale Front, Erenköy, İntepe, Karantina, Çakaltepe, Çamlık, Kumkale, Orhaniye, Cevat Paşa, Halileli and Eskikale appears to be among those underrated. It is one of the most important responsibilities of historians to allocate these selfless heroic acts to their rightful place in history.

In this study, archive materials of the BOA and ATASE, three volumes of the work of the General Staff of Turkey on Çanakkale, and other autobiographical sources were used.

Keywords: Artillery, Battle of Gallipoli, Military History, The First World War, History of Çanakkale
