WW1 Munitions -- Ever hear of a JJ Can?? JJ Con??

[Sunray]

Looks more like 'gg' to me. However, every unit and country had its own nicknames for ordnance. Mind you, the guy's spelling, typical of the lack of education of the time, doesn't help.
It might be a 'Jack Johnson' though. http://www.worldwar1.com/heritage/wordswar.htm

Thanks for the info and link. I first thought it was GG as well, but in a second instance it looked more like a JJ. I should have included that page as well, but here it is.
The "JJ" in the link you sent, as well as "GI Can", does make sense in his context. Possibly a he was using a combination of the two.
