Battye grenade information request.

[wemme]

Hello.
I am trying to find a drawing on the woodend plug for this grenade. Any idea of wood used?

I have been looking for information on the Battye grenades but i have not turned up anything usefull.
Some sites refer to them as the no13 which is the pitcher grenade.
From my reading these were manufactured also in france can anyone confirm this?

Thanks

Regards
Bart

The Battye was made in a foundary in the town of Bethune. A French foundary under the supervision of Royal Engineers. I think the plugs were any available softwood. I doubt if there was an offical specification for them, but you never know.
