The WW1 British BEF 18 Pounder Shell Casing dated 1916 is an original, inert artillery shell casing used by the British Expeditionary Force during the First World War. The 18-pounder field gun was the standard artillery piece for British and Commonwealth forces throughout the conflict, providing crucial support in both offensive and defensive operations. This brass shell casing, dated 1916, would have contained a high-explosive shell and was designed to be fired from the QF 18-pounder gun. The casing is empty and completely inert, with no explosive components. Typical features include clear headstamp markings indicating the date of manufacture, model details, and factory codes. Shell casings such as this were recovered from battlefields or used in post-war commemorations and are valued for their historical association with significant military engagements. This item offers insight into the technology and material culture of the British Army during World War I.
