I am looking for information on the French WWI 155-MM chemical fills. The information posted in several manuals seems to be all over the place and I can't get a handle on which fills went into which rounds.
It seems there were 2 types. Gun and Artillery.
Each shared some of the fills, but the artillery rounds had a few more.
Per: http://www.guerredesgaz.fr/Agression/artillerie/francaise/Munitions/Munitions.htm
There are several nomenclatures:
- Obus de 155 mm A modèle 1890.
- Obus de 155 mm A modèle 1890/1914.
- Obus de 155 mm FA modèle 1915.
- Obus de 155 mm A modèle 1915 type B.
- Obus de 155 mm FA modèle 1917.
Does anyone have a good list of what fills were in each of the above rounds?
Joe
