Default ammo box update

The crates and boxes are coming together, I just need to find the source for correct stencil sizes and fonts for added detail. Have a look at my first attempt at a ammo box label repro...HE.... working on the APC and APCBC label as well.

Default No. 27 limber tray stowage

Have you guys got any input on the details on how and what was stowed in the front tray? A lot of footman loops. Cheers Rob

Default Nr 27 limber stowage

Hello Rob,

Here is what I found in TM from the Belgian Army (1946).
It seems there 3 kinds of limber :
*caisson de pièce (the one hooked to the gun)
*caisson avant de section
*caisson arrière de section
All the tools were protected by a canvas cover.

Hope it helps,
Cheers from France,
Patrice.

In typical British fashion, nothing is left to chance or the imagination.

For an English version of the above, get the manual "Handbook for the Ordnance, QF 25prMMarkII on Carriage, 25pr., Mark1 Land Service (1940). You od have to jump around a bit, as some of the stowage charts are inside while the fold out pages have the diagrams.

Unsure if the same is contained in the similar 17pdr manual.
