There were several landing places. The Anzacs landed at a place that soon became known as Anzac Cove. The British landed at Cape Helles and Suvla Bay. The French landed in the Cannakale province across the Dardenelles but later withdrew.
Artillery like howitzers, naval guns from battleships and from the Turkish forts along the Dardenelles. Allied forces used .303 calibre Lee Enfield rifles. Some Turks used German Mausers. Machine guns for the Allies were usually Lewis guns. For the Turks there were some German Spandaus. There were also bombs. The Anzacs usually made home-made ones out of jam-tins and bits of metal.

Answer 89 BattlesAccording to "A Dictionary of Battles 1816-1976(1977) there were 89 battles in the First World War, all fronts included, though this does not include every skirmish or limited action that could not be considered a general "battle", perse. These engagements include, for instance, the Isonzo campaign in Italy that involved over ten separate phases over three years, as well as the East African campaign whereby the British tried desperately to hunt down the German Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck from the very beginning of the war until the German surrender. Obviously, this involved many small and fierce engagements, but it is one entry in this dictionary. Nonetheless, I would answer 89 based on this reference material.i went on a website recently, and gave up counting at 121 battles.
