Nice Bill
Do you have a cut away or drawing of the fuse?
Very nice!
Here's mine 75mm cartridge.
From time to time I come across these on the battlefields of WWI. I found a few live ones of these two summer ago, needless to say I didn't take them home...
These I found in the region of Nieuwpoort (Newport):

Thanks Bill
I am still getting the watermark on the pics and can not see the fuse. I forgot to log in for a few of them and have them under guest but do have more than 15 under copdoc. What am I doing wrong?
You need to log in
Thanks Bill. The French "75" was an excellent weapon and was very highly rated by both friend and foe alike.
Cheers, Ade.
Thanks Ade but I am logged in. The watermark is not over every picture. I made a mistake and posted some without logging in.
