These fuze fragments are from a (small) WW2 infantry training area, where is is believed 25 pdr guns were used, and the area later became a heavy AA site, with 3.7" guns. Other artillery pieces may also have been present.
Can anyone please identify these fragments to a particular fuze (No.117??) and so to the type of weapon in use?
