Peter Le Duc Posted 9 February , 2018 Share Posted 9 February , 2018 Can anyone advise me on the meaning of these abbreviations for artillery rounds. They appear as column headings in 2nd Divn Artillery HQ war diary with entries for number of rounds fired for each type. A, AX, BX many thanks in anticipation. peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
