This sectional view diagram of the Mills grenade, as depicted in a 1918 German weekly newspaper article, offers a fascinating glimpse into the intricacies of a crucial weapon used during the First World War. The Mills grenade, named after its inventor, William Mills, was a hand-thrown explosive device employed extensively by the British military. The diagram (Figs. 1, 2, 3 & 4) illustrates the various components of the Mills grenade in cross-section. The outer body, made of mild steel, houses the explosive charge and a detonating mechanism. The base of the grenade features a spoon-shaped lever, which, upon being pressed, ignites a time fuse. The fuse, in turn, leads to the detonation of the main charge. The Mills grenade was unique in its design, featuring a distinctive cross-shaped impact fuse that allowed the grenade to detonate upon impact, ensuring maximum destruction. The grenade's weight and shape were specifically designed to optimize its rolling capabilities, making it easier to throw and increasing its chances of landing effectively in the enemy's position. Compared to its contemporary Russian counterparts, the Mills grenade proved to be a more reliable and effective weapon. Its innovative design and functionality played a significant role in the outcome of numerous battles during the First World War. This intriguing diagram offers a rare and captivating insight into the inner workings of this iconic weapon, providing a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of those who designed and employed it during a time of great conflict.
