Flyby PC 23 Posted April 8, 2010 (edited) I was just browsing, and came across this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cordite It's interesting(ish) to learn the finer points about making cordite, but wouldn't you just love to be a member of the "Explosives Committee"? Dirty job but somebody's got to do it..... (Piccy is a WW1 British 18 pounder field gun shrapnel round BTW). Edited April 8, 2010 by Flyby PC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olham 164 Posted April 8, 2010 Can you imagine, that still today over 30 tons of unexploded ammo is gathered every year from Flanders' fields; 92 years after the end of the war? The farmers deposit shells and granades they find at the nearest country road, where the army specialists collect them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
