Remarks : I was not able to make a detailed list of the artillery units assigned to the Turkish Corps, so there are some differences between the total amount of guns of every Corps and the sum of the guns assigned to each of them. The Heavy artillery regiment was actually attached to the Command of the Çatalca Fortress Area, and its guns were probably included into the number of the guns of the different Corps.
