Hello

Seen recently, WW1 artillery relics in a flee market (Lille) .

Three models of British driving bands found on the Somme Battlefield.

• 36mm
• 50mm
• 67mm

You can see here on the photos, two of these models.

I think the 67mm DB is for the 15 inch How. Shell

The first image is of a 15" Naval Practice shell.

I think the second image is of a 15" Howitzer shell.

I have attached another view of the Naval Driving band.
