Thanks Dave that should have read better. More haste etc.

Very interesting, thanks.
So the first image is for a 2inch (50.8mm) gun...the other two are for a 2pounder (presumably 40mm).
Any ideas what the cartridge case for the 2in was like? Dimensions etc.
Thanks
Charley

Not yet Charley. Hoping to trip over some explanation of the gun and its ammunition but this is all so far.
