    Archive photos

    Finishing up some research this afternoon and ran across some archive photos I thought I'd post. First two photos are a very seldom seen US WWII projectile, we didn't make many of them.

    Jeff,

    Thanks for the photos. Now I know what my 4.5G projo is supposed to look like as lettered!

    Mine will remain pretty much the way I found it (minus certain fill material). Came from one of the main US WWII artillery training ranges.

    Digging out some pictures for Peteblight, thought I'd throw on a couple more archive shots. They got the identification wrong on the SD-1s, but that's ok. I love the SSGs new shirt as well. The second group is interesting in that you see very few wartime photos of Army personnel using VT fuzes.

    Not sure if I've shown any of these previously or not. Apologies for any repeats.

    Great photos! The one of the 4,000Lb. bombs is nice! The "Easter eggs" photo is a classic.

    Here are a couple more. I like the "indiscriminate method" of shipping projos to Brisbane. Enlargement shows that they are pretty early models of 155mm, looks like MK1A1.

    The projectile shipping is interesting, considering all the packaging that was done on other ordnance. The ropes around the projectiles to protect the rotating bands aren't even near the bands anymore. Glad I wasn't the one having to file all the dings out of the rotating bands.
