The most common types of Ottoman field artillery encountered during the First World War were German-designed and manufactured 75-mm and 77-mm field guns, grouped in four-gun batteries. Each Ottoman infantry division was supposed to be supported by six batteries of field guns, but in reality they had to make do with three or four at most. The 75-mm Krupp M03 L/30 Field Gun had a range of 6000 m; 648 were purchased from Germany in the period before the First World War, although many were lost in the Balkan Wars.
