MrEd Posted 3 October , 2022 Share Posted 3 October , 2022 Hello all, I am sure I have known this information in the past from this forum but I cannot remember and I can’t find the answer in my notes. Reading some war diaries relating to siege batteries and I see the details of the rounds fired but I can’t remember what P, S and M are for shell types. can anyone explain them please? I presume they relate to HE, Smoke, etc. but I don’t want to assume/guess which one is which. thank you in advance Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
