Grenade 36M


A British Service fragmentation grenade, the 36M contained approximately 2.5oz of explosives (Baratol or TNT). The filling Baratol and a new waterproofing were first used for grenades used in Mesopotamia, hence the 'M' in the designation. The 36M was hand thrown or when fitted with a gas check plate was fired from the .303 rifle.
