I knew how to check if they were live and that was my first step , but thanks for the advice and well intentioned thoughtfulness .

As I said to Jim I was most interested in the larger munition Fuses and was very surprised that they appear to be of turned Bronze rather than just brass which I thought was the norm .

Again my thanks for taking the trouble to find out for me , much appreciated .

They say actions speak louder than words , but I noticed my darling wife recently purchased two tins of Duraglit wadding

Returned from Worthing hospice having been down to visit Mark White [ Chalky's 42 year old son who has been fighting a two year battle with Cancer and brain tumours ] only to receive a call here that he passed away shortly after we left to return home .

Poor Karen is as you would expect very upset indeed , and we can only assume that he had had enough of the fight and passed to another berth bless him .

Such a waste of life at such a young age , and he will be missed by his friends very much indeed as well as Karen who now feels isolated and alone since her family have all left her now .....but I will do my best to comfort her ........naturally

Mark White 1978 - 2021 RIP and look out for "Chalky" who worshipped his son .
