Mills Bombs... What Should I Be Reading??

[staples57]

When it comes to Mills Bombs and associated accessories, I am clearly a novice. The B.O.C.N. is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to Mills Bombs, however, I would like to learn more. As a collector, I'm interested in their history, creator/inventor, variations, accessories, manufacturing process, etc.

The following are the "go to" web-sites that I gravitate to most often...
- B.O.C.N.
- The Mills Grenade Collectors Site (David Sampson)
- Paul's Grenade Page
- The Grenade Recognition Manual
- Inert-Ord.net
- Grenades, Mines and Boobytraps
- Great War Forum
- Canadian Expeditionary Force Study Group

What should I be reading? What are your recommendations for additional information & reading material?

Thanks,
Brad
