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

Herman, this thread has pix of the ammo box with the printing. I have a couple of these boxes now.

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,

25 Pr HE shells
 

Guys,

It's fantastic to meet people who has all this information.
I am interesting in the markings on all the 25 Pr ammo boxes
(shells and cases), the HE and AP shells.
Also markings on the C267 cases box with 2 covers(for 4 cases on each
side) as you can see on the picture.
The most important now is the design of the driving band on the HE shells (and AP shells),so I can complete my 4 home-made HE shells.

cheers

Hi Herman
I have a scan of the info and photo of the HE shell but it is copyright and I don't know if I can put it on the forum. PM me your email address and I will send it directly to you.

Hi My 1940 Handbook for QF 25Pr gives some information, several pics follow, Bob.

No2 more available if its what you need.

finaly mystery solved. i saw about 5 miles of the case that you showed in the pictures above (left side), there must have been 5000 or more of them. they are used as center dividers along the main military highway in the desert in the mid east. i thought they were British but didn't know what they were.

well that's one way to recycle

Some photos.
