Title
British Number 1 Grenade
Description
Hand grenade with streamers, wooden handle, brass body and cast iron fragmentation ring. This was the first hand grenade used by the British in World War One. It was thrown using the cane handle for a greater range and detonated on impact. The streamers made sure it landed nose-first. Soldiers had to avoid hitting the fuse on the trench wall during the back-swing of the throw. This would detonate the grenade in the trench.
