Okay, so I've set the second world war on a shelf for a while and have been digging all things WWI.
I've been pretty amazed with some of the WWI era artillery diagrams I've come across which got me wondering; When did man make the transition from solid projectile (ie cannon balls and smaller multiple projectile loads) to shrapnel and fused projectiles?
I've spent quite a bit of time researching this topic and can find nothing as far as a where and when on what would appear to have been a major breakthrough in artillery effectiveness.
Thanks in advance.
