EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lantern slide image presents a close-up view of a Mills hand grenade, a military weapon that played a significant role in the conflicts of the early 20th century. The Mills hand grenade, specifically the No. 36 Mills Bomb, was a type of grenade used extensively during World War 1 and the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Its distinctive design, featuring a spiked body and a detachable fuze, was a revolutionary improvement over earlier grenade designs. The image showcases the intricate details of the grenade's exterior, with its rough, textured surface and the visible imprint of the Mills Grenade markings. The fuze, attached by a thin wire, is partially visible at the bottom of the grenade. The overall appearance of the grenade exudes an aura of both fear and fascination, a testament to the complexities and contradictions of war. The lantern slide, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to the history of warfare and the technological advancements that shaped the course of military conflicts. This image is not only a valuable historical artifact but also a reminder of the human ingenuity and the consequences of conflict.
