Canadian 105mm Arty shell markings

[rob love]

I asked a more senior artilleryman, and he does not recall ever having seen the yellow band on HE rounds. As to the WP smoke, he told me Canada quit using them...not clear if it was environmentally unfriendly or considered chemical warfare which we have backed out of along with landmines.



I tried to find some more modern manuals, but their ammunition sections did not have as much information as the old manual had.
