Peace Posted September 26, 2010 Share #1 Posted September 26, 2010 Hi all, I have in my collection a nice M1A1 anti tank mine crate. It is marked in the usual fashion, but in addition, it has some nomenclature wich starts with 'GLUE' and the some other markings. In these last few days I've seen several more crates of all sorts also having this type of marking. What does 'GLUE' stand for?? Thx, Stijn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share #2 Posted September 27, 2010 One such example visible in this picture from 'Zippy144's collection; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johan Willaert Posted September 29, 2010 Share #3 Posted September 29, 2010 IMO it's either a stock or shipping code, designating different kinds of ammo and/or destinations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted September 29, 2010 Share #4 Posted September 29, 2010 Maybe it's a crate for "Sticky Bombs"?! Sabrejet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalbert Posted September 30, 2010 Share #5 Posted September 30, 2010 This is purely a guess, but I think the first two words may stand for "Great Lakes." David Albert [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaptonIsGod Posted September 30, 2010 Share #6 Posted September 30, 2010 Instructing to glue lid shut rather than nail as to not risk hitting ordnance and detonating it? No clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinb Posted September 30, 2010 Share #7 Posted September 30, 2010 I agree that it's part of some shipping information. Note that the markings also have the letters CWS (chemical warfare service), and the box is for smoke grenades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
med-dept Posted October 8, 2010 Share #8 Posted October 8, 2010 Certainly a shipping designation. I have a Medical Chest similarly marked and it indicates GLUE-MED-etc. I don't have access to my references right now, but when I get home I will check in my documentation for Army shipping codes and instructions. Either way, it's a logistics mark. Thanks, Ben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
