Commanders of four batteries in Fort Rumeli Mecidiye (Fort No. 13). The second from the left is Capt. Hilmi whose gun was mentioned as the one which sunk the French battleship Bouvet on March 18, 1915.

Capt. Hacı Ramazan – an illiterate officer, who – according to the written sources – in mid March 1915 was responsible for transferring a 355 mm fortress gun from Fort Çimenlik (Fort No. 20) to Fort Anadolu Hamidiye (Fort No. 19) as well as for construction of concrete gun emplacements in (Rumeli) Mesudiye Battery (Fort No. 7) and for fixing the guns on them. We may also assume that the Dardanos (Fort No. 8) and Muin-i Zafer Batteries were built under his supervision. Most probably it was him too, who during the 1914/15 winter built a new gun emplacement in Fort Rumeli Meciciye (Fort No. 13) and transferd a gun there.
