Why is the ordnance survey called the ordnance survey?
The name dates back to World War II. Much of the mapping carried out during the war was done by the Department of Ordnance (the guys who take care of munitions, artillery, tanks etc.).

The 817th Ordnance Base Depot Company served in the following campaigns: Normandy and Northern France. Source: Dept of Army Pamphlet 672-1 "Unit Citation and Campaign Participation Credit Register" which was used by commanders to determine who was eligible to wear campaign ribbons from WW2 and Korea.
