crate

    Are these shell crates?

    These were found at a coast battery site which housed two 6" naval guns up until the 1950s. They seem to be WW2 dated and I have always assumed that they are perhaps crates for the projectiles for the guns, with the little recess around the inside for the drive band, but I have not seen anything...

    18pdr Ammunition crates

    Hi, I'm looking for the dimensions of 18pdr crates from WW1 like the ones in these photos from the IWM. I believe the ones in the first photo are type C52. Does anyone have information about them or one they could measure? I intend to make some for a model I'm building. Many thanks, Ben
