No.5 grenade transit box.

[Geoff Parker]

Does anyone have any information, or can point me to any literature on the colour, and markings for a No.5 grenade box circa late 1915/early 1916.

I have a copy of a WD publication on ammunition and ammunition packages,

but this is dated 1918 and does not include the No.5, only No's.23 and 36,

and I know that they were both painted grey with different colours on the cleats depending on the number of the grenade.

I am trying to restore an old film prop transit box and am trying to find the correct colour and markings.

Thanks

Geoff
