Hi All,
Can anyone identify what this shell actually is? This is a dug up find by someone, but I don't know where it was found. When I got it it was as dug, with a 211 fuze fitted (now restored except for the cone. It can't be from a smoke or starshell as they're just one lump as was the HE (and it wouldn't have a 211 fuze fitted anyway). The fuze is dated 12/40, so is a fairly early wartime example. Could it be either for chemical (thought they used a smoke body) or for a propaganda/leaflet shell. I'm sure that this will be a really easy question to answer, but I have no clue! Any assistance gratefully received!
Cheers, Steve
