examined the ammunition said 1t was
Belgian in origin and this added to
the mystery.

~storekeeper for the national guard,
who says that it is undoubtedly part
of i lot of ammunition that he had
ordered a drayman to dump into the
creek 20 years ago because it no

man did not do a good job of 1t Or
else the creek has changed it's chan

The guns that these shells fitted were
all called during the later eos and
this rendered the ammunition of no
value. The Belgian idea arose from
the fact that they resemble the shells
used by that army in the last war.
