WW1 #5 Practice Grenade
- Thread starter usa1918
- Start date
It looks right for a throwing practice grenade, so I think the maker might be Towler & Son Ltd, of Riverbank Works, Stratford, London, E15.
A partner company Towler & Innes, of 85/87 High Street, Stratford, E15, is certainly on record as making fuze bodies and caps, and aerial bombs (amongst other items) for the war effort; both grenades and aerial bombs came under the auspices of the Trench Warfare Department.
