Firepower 4: New Zealand Field Artillery at Gallipoli
In 1911 the NZ Government purchases 18 pounders and 4.5 inch howitzers as it starts to modernise.
Their first deployment was to German Somoa, as a part of the Samoa Expeditionary Force, retaking the islands from the Germans.
The ANZAC the NZ guns land, howitzers, on the 26th of April, 1915 and the field guns lands on the 27th.
