An AW bomb crate at rattlechain

AW BOMBS. A mass produced incendiary grenade by Albright and Wilson and issued to the Home Guard. Utterly unfit for purpose, these “anti-tank” weapons were discarded and forgotten, but destroyed in large quantities. They contained a mixture of phosphorus and benzene, and we know that the year of manufacture ceased when the use of Rattlechain lagoon started in 1942.
