Scope and Content

JC, the instructor, now takes the cordite charge which is about 3' long, from the next gunner and slides it into the gun behind the shell. The breech is then closed and the gun is ready. It is lined up on the target and fired. A local fisherman was employed to tow targets out to sea for firing practice
