EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a No. 23 Mills rifle grenade, a vital component of the British military arsenal during the First World War. The No. 23 Mills rifle grenade was a type of grenade designed to be fired from a rifle, providing infantry units with the ability to engage targets at a greater distance than traditional hand-thrown grenades. The grenade's distinctive appearance is highlighted in the image, with the red band denoting the explosive filling, and the pink band indicating the type of explosive. The use of color-coded bands was a common practice during this era to quickly identify the grenade's composition, with Amatol (Ammonial) and TNT (Bellite) being the most common types of explosives used. The No. 23 Mills rifle grenade was a significant improvement over earlier designs, as it allowed for greater accuracy and reach. It was first introduced in 1915 and saw extensive use throughout the First World War. The grenade was fired using a special adapter that attached to the end of the rifle barrel, and the grenade was loaded into the adapter before firing. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the military history of the First World War, providing a unique perspective on the tools and equipment used by soldiers during this pivotal period in history. The No. 23 Mills rifle grenade is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of those who served, and serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during the conflict.
