Now a few related items.

A cardboard tub which contained a booster charge or incremental charge for the light field howitzer 16/18.

A tin which contains flash reducing charges for the light field howitzer 16/18.

I also have this large bakelite tub,I don't know what it contained,but I'm presuming it was either a shell case or a huge powder charge!

Does anyone have any ideas?

Cheers,

The top has the text Kart.Vorl. H. 13 moulded into it.

I can only think that the H 13 is something to do with the 1913 model Howitzer.
