Jon Haslock Posted 7 November , 2007 Share Posted 7 November , 2007 Just wondering, is there a book that lists, with photographs or diagrams, all the artillery fuses used during the war? I know that there is a French magazine with a useful feature about German fuses, but I would be interested in one that covers all nationalities.

Max Poilu Posted 8 November , 2007 Share Posted 8 November , 2007 Not aware of a single publication that covers all fuzes in depth, Howard Williamson's book has minor details but nothing comprehensive. The Treatise (or Textbook) on Ammuntion (reprint from naval and Military) is useful for British but otherwise it is a case of trawling the web where you will find most fuzes covered in certain on-line articles or scans. Ebay will also provide CD scans of German publications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auchonvillerssomme Posted 8 November , 2007 Share Posted 8 November , 2007 Notes on German Fuzes and Typical French and Belgian Fuzes (second edition) General Staff (intelligence) General HQ 1st January 1918. 218 pages of Fuze descriptions. I have it in front of me now, but can't or the life of me remember where i got it from. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Haslock Posted 8 November , 2007 Author Share Posted 8 November , 2007 Thanks for the replies. I'll try the link. Mick, is that an HMSO publication? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auchonvillerssomme Posted 9 November , 2007 Share Posted 9 November , 2007 Its not marked as HMSO the codes are S.S.306 Ia/38390 Apart from that not much else to go on. You could ask a general question about the book on the forum. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Poilu Posted 9 November , 2007 Share Posted 9 November , 2007 Sounds similar to stuff you can find on ebay scanned on CD as above. I have one somewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Haslock Posted 13 November , 2007 Author Share Posted 13 November , 2007 I've seen a CD ROM of German fuses advertised on Ebay before now. Around £5 I think? Would you say it's worth buying one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Haslock Posted 18 November , 2007 Author Share Posted 18 November , 2007 On a similar subject to my earlier enquiry, I saw this advertised on a well known internet auction site for a buy it now price of £200!! "WW1 BRITISH ARTILLERY WEAPONS & AMMUNITION 1914 - 1918 SCARCE BOOK BY HOGG & THURSTON - THE DEFINITIVE STUDY". Is it really THAT scarce? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
