2 pounder AT fired on wheels

[John McGillivray]

Doug,

What I have is an e-book copy of the “Handbook of the 2-pdr Anti-Tank Gun on Mark II to IIIA Carriages” In the section on Ammunition it states:

“The type of projectile can be distinguished by the colours with which it is painted. All solid shot is painted black, while H.E. shell is yellow”.

Also at the end there is a coloured drawing of the ammunition. It shows four types of projectiles: Service Shot, H.E. Shell, Practice Shot and Flathead.

Sorry I don't have any colour photos of the gun.
