ciao
I recently found this good case.
I red on " british artillery weapons " by Hogg-Thurston, it was derived from 4in MK5 separate loading.
it was emplaced mainly around naval dockyards and vulnerable point. it was returned to naval service shortly after the ww1 ended.

any other info it's appreciated, especially on ammunition.

thanks in advance

best regards
