Good morning, I am conducting some research into ammunition markings in the UK and have come across a mention of the A&ERs Vol3 pamphlet called the pre 1969 marking system, does anyone have a pdf they could share or information on it.

Regards
 
Hi there sgdbdr yes I looked through that, it was very interesting and covered most of the points I was looking for then I was dirceted to the A&ERs version as it was supposed to explain the reasons why the colours changed etc.
 
In the 1960s we started to transition over to STANAG 2321 for the colour coding of ordnance. I think by 1969 we had completed the transition. We stopped using a red filling ring and went over to yellow in '69.
