Hi All.
This is my first post on here so i hope it goes well.
I am part of a WW2 reenactment group and in our enforced down time we have been repainting and labeling correctly alot of ww2 ammo boxes.
we have acquired an number of 2 pounder pompom ammunition boxes about 6 now in total.
These are large heavy galvanized steel boxes.
One came with a lot of the original data and and markings on it, we are using this one as a template for the rest.
the data on the front makes sense.
ammunition type and quantity
type of gun,
how the ammo is connected
propellant type
N stamps for navy
red stripes for explosive
However there are two markings we dont understand,
first a diagonal yellow stripe on the right hand side of the box,
secondly a broken white circle with a off center cross.
Can anyone tell us what these mean before we put these on the restored boxes.
many thanks
Alan
