Just recently I was generously given four battlefield relics from Vimy Ridge and Arass.One of the pieces is a half of a bullet cartridge (I think its a 303) and the tip of the bullet.But the piece that got my attention is a piece of jagged metal (about 3 X 2 1/2 in.).It has five rivets across it (half an inch apart) and was apparently a subject of an explosion and seemed to have had a bronze or tanish finish (though its mostly weathered and has white "rust").
Could it have been from a tank? It couldn't have been an arty shell as the ones I see in pics didn't have much rivets.
