A variety of different bursting charges were used in Mills grenades. Is it possible to say what physical form these charges took? Were they powder? Flakes? Crystal? Or a molten pour-in/set on cooling compound?
Once filled, did the grenades have a defined shelf life and if so, do we know how long? Could a filling be removed and replaced?
In TGRM vol 2, with regard to the No 36M Mk1 (L) it states "All grenades with a filling of Cilferite C were withdrawn from service and destroyed in December 1932". Why was this?
