Nothing sexier than a WW1 18 pounder shell :-)

Chris, I think a german 76 mm Leichte Wurfmine is much nicer.

Especially if my grandfather's company made it. Electro Metals Limited

He's the Emile Darte mentioned.

Anyone got an 18-pdr marked EML or something similar?

Nice site and good family history.

My non relic and readable 18 pdr is from DB & Co., anyone know who they were?
