HANDBOOK OF ENEMY AMMUNITION No 9

German Tellermines, demolition charges, fuses and gun ammunition of Czech origin. Italian fuses, primers and shell. Reprint of the War Office pamphlet dated 4th December 1943. These handbooks were issued to all field units in contact with the enemy in Europe and Africa, and were intended for use by all personnel to help them recognise enemy ammunition. Specialist personnel were then trained to handle and disarm/destroy the ammunition so found. Each pamphlet covers a number of items, and this issue covers the Tellermine 42 and fuses, the German 13.5kg demolition charge (as use at Eben Emael), the 15 cm concrete shell, the 10.5 cm medium gun cartridge and a Czech made 3.7cm cartridge. It also covers more Italian ammunition (and see Nos 7 and 10).
