charley_bourne Posted 31 July , 2013 Share Posted 31 July , 2013 We found this in a hedge on the Rue De Courcellette a couple of miles into the fields outside Grandcourt (we didn't touch it!). It was about six inches long. Any help gratefully received. Presuming some sort of shell? Thanks and best wishes 'Charley'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calibre792x57.y Posted 31 July , 2013 Share Posted 31 July , 2013 Looks like the remains of the body of an 18 pdr shrapnel shell. British anyway because of the width of the drive band (now absent!). - SW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyE Posted 31 July , 2013 Share Posted 31 July , 2013 It looks like the bae of a shrapnel shell with the driving bands removed. Most likely an 18 Pr. regards TonyE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
