Hi. I'm looking for help finding out which monograms the following propellant factories have. Thanks for your help.
Shawnigan, Canada
Ile de Salaberry, Canada
Windsor, Canada
Transcona, Canada
Nobel, Canada
Girvan, Scotland
Drungans, Scotland
 
FWIW

Depending on the time period there were powder plants in both Windsor Ontario and Windsor, Quebec

Windsor, Quebec
1869 Windsor Powder Co -> 1877 Hamilton Powder-> 1911 Canadian Explosives Co (OOB 1922) (propellants & TNT)

Windsor, Ontario
1941 DIL (chemicals used in explosives and propellants, primary supplier of carbamite in WWII)

Shawinigan, Quebec
1898 SWPC -> SW&P Shawinigan Water & Power (chemicals used in explosives and propellants, manufactured RDX? in WWII)
1901 Shawinigan Carbide Co (chemicals used in explosives and propellants)
1901 Shawinigan Carbide Company -> (bought by SWPC) 1911 renamed Canada Carbide Co -> 1927 Shawinigan Chemicals Ltd (chemicals used in explosives and propellants, chemical supplier for RDX in WWII)

I think the above is correct. Perhaps it will help in your search for their monograms.
