I believe your " identification " is in error. What is the projectile diameter? It appears you have a 1.1"/ 75. Early WW2 AA gun, replaced by the 40mm Bofors. The projectile looks strange, maybe a fill the hole piece? Hard to know as your driving band is missing. Notice the 1.1" has a very wide driving band ( low pressure), which was outdated technology. Remove the projectile for more clues ( base design will provide more clues).    See here for a complete, original round.  

. interesting contact and book.   After the Carentan parade and a display of the wartime vehicles in the town car park a friend returned to his Dodge staff car and was greeted by a man that had waited patiently to talk with him.  The man pointed to the plaque on the front bumper showing the name of an airfield in Mississippi that he said a long-term friend a WWII nurse trained at, sadly she recently died aged in her mid nineties.  This Gentleman has written a book about her wartime experiences, and gave my friend a free copy.  I had a quick flip through it this afternoon while visiting for a coffee and it is very detailed with many photographs that I have never seen before also a lot of technical details including her clothing and equipment issue etc, and travel documents.   I look forward to loaning it when I can and read through it.          Norman D.

. Jeep in a crate purchase . . . . . . . .   well actually it's not,  but better than that a local friend is awaiting next week the arrival of five Jeeps in a shipping container.  One is supposedly an all matching numbers Ford GPW, and another is a Slat Grille, again supposedly untouched since manufacture as he bought them sight unseen other than photographs, so he is waiting impatiently and I am also ready to hot-foot it down there to see what he has and pore over the technical details with him.   Norman D.

There are many legends about the origins of the Oozlefinch. Most agree that the legend began in 1905 at Ft. Monroe, Virginia, then home of the Coast Artillery Corps. Captain Henry MacPherson Merriam, possibly under the effects of alcohol, first reported seeing a large-eyed, flight-challenged bird outside the officers' club. Soon more people reported seeing this bird, and sketches were made. Eventually, the legend of the bird would become so great that a statue was erected at the club in its honor. The Oozlefinch was used on the insignia of the Railway Artillery Reserve during World War I; In some descriptions, this bird is a pelican. The Distinctive Unit Insignia of the 42nd Field Artillery Brigade later included the oozlefinch, describing the insignia as: "On a wreath of the colors (Or and Gules) an oozlefinch (from the shoulder sleeve insignia worn by the Railway Artillery Reserve in France) Vert, armed, capped and collared on the legs." Symbolism The Oozlefinch's eyes are very large, allowing it to see very distant and very clearly in the sky. Its vision is unobstructed by eyelids or eyebrows, and the eyes are said to be able to turn 180 degrees so the Oozlefinch can look inward, symbolizing the need of a good leader for inward reflection.   My Dad took basic at Ft Monroe in 1940. This was taken from a post on the internet exlpaining the Oozlefinch. 

. I Spray stencilled a Jeep on my friends Landrover today.   About two years ago I bought a metal laser cutout stencil of a wartime Jeep and sprayed in on the rear of my local run-around, today I used the same stencil on the rear of a friends Landrover 90 with his permission.         Norman D.
