You don't see inter-war 18 pdr stuff all that often so here are a few photos of my shrapnel cartridge made up with components from 1927-28.
The shell is a Mk XVII made by PE CO (?) and dated 6/1928. (PE Co, PE CO or PECO inside a bullet/shell shape.)
The fuze is a No. 80 Mk XI made by VSM in 5/26 and filled by RL 1/27.
The case is a Mk III made by EOC in 1927 and fitted with a later 1935-36 MF/ME Australian made primer. Stencilled SHP for shrapnel.
Cheers, Graeme.
