This was fired from the British 25 pounder field gun.

Ordnance QF 25 pounder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"ECC" is the maker of the shell case, but I do not know who they were.

Cheers, Ade.

E.C.C has been identified as E.Curran & Co from cardiff..
i would like to add that E.C.C has also been described as Elswick Cartridge Company,this is likely to be a misinterpretation of the more commonly found EOC stamp for Elswick Ordnance Company
