Dear forum members, picked a nice piece of badged trench art (Royal Engineers) from the local antique centre. Full of dates and lettering, but apart from the dates, what do the rest of the lettering indicate? Thanks very much for reading - Mark.

Well, for starters, that look's like a Candian forces stamp on the primer!

And on the base itself, at 9 o’clock, under the “Circle 6”.

I believe the conjoined CCCo logo is that of the Canadian Cartridge Company of Hamilton, Ontario. The PG may be a batch code.
