British and ANZAC soldiers are seen with Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III* rifles.
Mauser Karabiner 98AZ
Some Turkish soldiers use Mauser 98AZ Carbines during the landing at "V" Beach and the last battle. This is anachronistic because the German Empire delivered their Mauser rifles to the Ottomans only towards the end of the war. So the Kar. 98 AZ maybe stands for the Turkish Mauser 1905 Carbine.

Turkish soldiers also use incorrect Mauser Gewehr 1898 rifles during the Gallipoli campaign instead of accurate Turkish 1893 and 1903 Mauser rifles.

Other
