The story behind the shell is the evening before the ground war started we were given orders to move forward ready to resupply the tankies for the breach the next day. Our dip shit straight out of sanderhurst 2nd LT troop commander read the magellan wrong and put us 29 kilometres inside iraq before anyone else and the troop was shelled by the an iraqi artillary unit 221 shells where fired and not a single one hit after air support had been in and flattened the fcukers a few trucks motored up to clear the area and came back with a shit load of shells and every soldier from my regiment was given one which had been engraved with the unit name and dates we where there
