75 x 275R shell case DCP Co. Canada 1917 but what shell & gun?

[Rrickoshae]

please see the attached photos of a 75mm case, having quite a wide rim. Headstamp reads 75M No.13 DCP Co (Dominion Copper Products Co. of Canada) 1917. The primer has a centre ring of solder

Who was this made for and what gun?

any thoughts?

many thanks, Dave

Dave,

It should be 75 x 277R. Canadian manufacture for Belgian Government - https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C3262095

I can't assist with which artillery piece used it.
