Posting on a comment from FoxholeFrank (who forgot his password).
------------------
I USE TO LIVE IN LIMAY ALSO, NICE PLACE . I TRIED TO REPLY ABOUT THE PICTURE OF THE CARTRIDGE BUT NEVER DID,FORGOT MY PASSWORD. THE ROUND IS REMINGTON MADE FOR THE BRITISH LEND LEASE FROM THE U.S. . IF YOU LOOK YOU WILL SEE .300 THE BRITISH DESIGNATION FOR OUR 30 CALIBER.THE REENFORCED PRIMER ( SEVERAL RINGS ) SHOWS ITS MADE FOR AIRCRAFT MACHINE GUNS TO PREVENT ANY BLOWN PRIMERS CAUSING STOPPAGES.THIS AMMO WAS PROBABLY SCOOPED UP IN 1941 DUE TO SHORTAGES AND POSSIBLY PUT ON BOARD THE SS COOLIDGE THAT GOT THERE IN NOV,1941. SO THE AMMO WAS NEW AND WITHIN A YEAR OR LESS WAS USED ON BATAAN.
YOU CAN POST THIS IF YOU LIKE. I JUST WISH I WAS ON BATAAN NOW.
REMEMBER BATAAN,
FOXHOLEFRANK
