Default 25-Pdr Ammunition Markings

Go to www.canadiansoldiers.com and click the weapons tab, then ordnance and finally 25-Pdr. I found this by googling 25 Pdr ammunition markings.

Ed,

Thank you for your answer.
But the kind of data I need is these like on the
"royal artillery site" also in the forum "the gun park"
of 9 october 2008.
(guns and ammunition/field regiments/ammunition)
Its a part of an archive 2000,but the pictures are to small
and its not possible to read the text.(on the shells and
the ammunition boxes)

cheers

Do you want pics of projectile box or case box, A/P box different again, the position of driving band changed depending on projectile.

Hi Herman
I just got my computer back from an overhaul and everything isn't reinstalled yet. Hopefully tomorrow I can scan the info you need. I have photos of all the stencilling, dimensions (even the driving bands),fuses and boxes used into the 60s.
met vriendelijke groeten,
Barry
