Shells By The Million -- Staff/Sgt. R. Morton, of Jersey, Channel Islands, and Corporal H. Charlton, of Durham, marking up issue of 6-inch shells in one of the huge bays.Deep underground, somewhere in England, so deep that neither temperature not humidity varies between summer and winter, the R.A.O.C. have a huge arsenal, where millions of shells are stacked in bays, and when wanted, are transported to the underground railhead, by means of miles of conveyor belting. Work goes on throughout the whole of the 24 hours of every day. All calibers of ammunition from 303 small arms to 18 inch heavies, are stacked here by the million. May 22, 1944.
