Ammunition for Guns, Howitzers and Mortars made in Canada during WW-2.

I assume that ammunition that was made in Canada was also used by the British Army in the ETO and visa versa.
So no separated supply for the British 2nd Army and 1st Canadian Army. Is that correct?

And another question, how can I see if this ammunition was made in Canada, only by factory codes? Is there a list?

And was the Canadian Broad Arrow (C with an arrow inside) only used in the base of QF cartridges or also in other ammunition parts?

Found two factory codes on Cartridges 25 pr.

RM/C = Robert Mitchell Co.
DB/C = Dominion Bridge Co.

I have a list of about 20 Canadian factories that made projectiles.
I will try to type out a list for you tomorrow.

Are you sure about DB/C being Dominion Bridge? I have Dominion Brass and/or Dominion Cartridge Company, Brownburg. I am sure some people on thif forum know the correct name, I will adjust my reference list accordingly.

DB/C - Dominion Bridge Company

Numerous Canadian companies and organisations were contracted by the British Ministry of Supply to manufacture ordnance for use by British forces etc., they would have also manufactured ordnance for their own armed forces.

I show my list of Canadian projectile makers in British calibres from various forums and posts.
I have not done a case makers list yet. Obviously this list is missing lots of other makers.
