Possible WW1 era air dropped item

[Weasel]

These pictures were sent to me today and all the info i have is that the item was found in a shoe box and note saying found over 20 years ago on a mudflat in Kent. The overal length is described as being around 20 inches. Item is empty and inert and all unscews, the fuze appears to have a lead coating in parts, and the only marks i can see from the pictures is a broad arrow on the body and fuze.
I anyone can add any info on this item i would be very grateful, in over 30 years of collecting i have not seen one of these before that i know of.
