Hi, I am trying to identify what is described in the Auxiliary Units manual of 1942 (titled Calendar 1938) as a 'Magnesium Incendiary' with stated dimension of 8 inches x 2 inches , fitted with a match=headed bickford fuse and a plain bickford fuse. States can also be used as a signal flare. Seems similar to the Incemdiary Thermit Bomb as illustrated in Anders' magnificant book, p.117 but the size does not match. I wondered if it might be the SOE Magnesium Incendiary 2 1/2lb (L Flare) but have not seen an illustration.
Any ideas?
