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.

25 Pr HE shells
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

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. Barry

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
