I'm trying to illustrate Wikipedia artillery articles with illustrations of their ammo, so I'd be really greatful if anybody has copyright-free diagrams and/or photographs of cartridges and shells for the following :
5-inch howitzer shell : Lyddite (originally 50-lb & new 40-lb (circa. 1914)
6-inch howitzer shell - Lyddite old 118-lb (up to 1901), new 100 lb (1901-)
3-pounder Hotchkiss : fixed round
2.5 inch mountain gun : cartridge & shell
15-pounder shell Lyddite & HE (?) (actually weighed 14 lb)
15-pounder cartridge (new design, as at 1914)
4.7 inch gun : cartridge & shell (45 lb)
8 inch howitzer cartridge & shell
many thanks
Rod
