Hi small up date though I should correct my can's

Army Service Corps memo from 11 June 1915 which states "all tins that are used for oil, paraffin and water must be painted black, with a white W, P or O as the case may be marked on both sides. "Tins that are used for petrol are to be left their original colour".
The original colour was the manufacturers preference, but would certainly have included red, blue and green.


Base coated the towing mule.


Mock up



Thank you for looking .
