Gunner Bailey Posted 20 August , 2019 Share Posted 20 August , 2019 2nd picture looks like the flash tube from an 18 lb shrapnel shell. This transmitted flame from the fuze to the charge in the base of the shell that expelled the shrapnel balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harley1962 Posted 20 August , 2019 Author Share Posted 20 August , 2019 Many thanks Mark & Gunner Bailey. I thought the first was part of a screw picket but didn't know the others, that's why the forum is great with such knowledgeable people like yourselves. I can now look up more information on each part. I have a peaceful corner in my garden where i put all my field finds which to me mean so much more than just rusty iron.
