Good evening,
Would anyone here have any illustrations or documentation relating to the first war French 155mm HE shell.
I have one in the collection which measures 637mm minus adaptor, 647mm with adaptor (both approximate measurements) with a driving band width of 13mm.
The base is not boat tailed but square.
I have documentation for French projectiles up to 1915, but this shell is not listed, although there are similar shorter models. Also, what fuze would this shell have been commonly fitted with?
Many thanks in advance,
