EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image showcases a Mills Bomb No. 5 hand grenade, a relic from the tumultuous era of World War One. Dated back to 1915, this oval cast iron grenade is segmented in design, featuring a handle and a split pin. Its base plate bears the markings of the grenade number and the maker's name, P B and Company. The Mills Bomb No. 5 hand grenade was a crucial component of trench warfare during the First World War, serving as a deadly weapon in the hands of soldiers. Its segmented body was designed to withstand the rigors of battle, while the handle provided a secure grip for the soldier throwing it. The split pin was used to secure the grenade's lever, keeping it safe until it was ready to be armed. The Mills Bomb No. 5 hand grenade was a significant improvement over earlier grenade designs, as it allowed soldiers to engage the enemy at closer ranges without putting themselves in immediate danger. However, its use came with great risk, as the grenade required a precise throw to land effectively and avoid harming friendly troops. This artifact is a poignant reminder of the brutal realities of war and the sacrifices made by soldiers during the First World War. Its intricate design and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any military collection or museum display.
