WW1 artillery fuse

[corblimy]

I have this item that was found at passchendaele. Lots of different marks of which I know nothing about except for RL Royal Laborotories (Woolwich Aresenal)


Camera not good on close ups, so here are the marks on paper,

Hi
Your fuze is an N°102 (1916-1921)
The N°102 is organized as N°101 but by reconstruction of N°100 from which we removed the percussion device. This modification was indicated by the grounds around the body of fuze
This fuze is used with 18 pdr and 4.5 inch for HE shells and WP shell of 4.5 inch.
She was used with the Gaine N°2
We used N°100 in the course of production to make this series. It is for that that we do not find particular markings.
Au revoir
Jean Paul
