Engraved shell case
Posted by: BernieT ()

Hi,
I’ve just recently acquired a six pounder (Mk III) shell case. On the base of this shell case has been stamped ‘ One of the six fired at German submarine August 20’ then ‘J. Harkness’ and ‘Mediterranean’ with ‘1917’ and finishing with ‘I.W.T.Y.’
I would be very grateful if anyone could enlighten me as to what this alludes to.
