The No5 grenade or Mills grenade is probably the most well known grenade shape to be developed
It entered service in May 1915
The body is segmented cast iron
Markings : Red filling ring and either a Pink or Green band to indicate type of filling

I could not find a bigger/better scan of this instruction label. Were these printed instructions to be found in every full case?
