Post 1960 info

[CaptainCaveman]

I've been searching aimlessly for a while now for info on post 1960 British (used by British army) grenades and failing dismally....so I'm throwing myself upon your mercy as to whether anyone can point me in the right direction?

See if you can get a copy of "Grenade" by Rick Landers It has a good section on British L series grenades. Try Pauls web site http://www.paul-spence1964.com/ or http://www.lexpev.nl/ for general grenade info.
Happy hunting.
Cheers

Hangerman is right. It's a must have book.

The L series of grenades were officially started in about 1952 but the L2 only superseded the No 36 in 1965. The L2A2 came in in 1968 the L3 in 65 but there are literally dozens of smoke and tear gas, and marker grenades that dominate the lists.

Buy the book if you can find it.
