Reprodution WWI British Brodie helmet from the Fusiliers in the great war
The Battye grenade was small defensive hand grenade designed by British Army Major B C Battye, serving with the Indian Corps at the end of 1914. They were manufactured at 78 Rue de Lille, Bethune, France through 1915 using French civilians to fill the cases made from cast iron with ammonal. The Battye Hand Grenades were fitted with 5 second fuses of two types a flame ignited wick or a Nobel patent detonator. The Nobel patent detonator worked by the user first removing the safety pin after which the user would slap the cap causing a percussion cap located inside the cap to light the main fuse. Battye Hand Grenade was short lived as it did not prove to be particularly effective and even un safe which led to them being disbanded by the military.
