Electric Grenade Hales Rifle Made


EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Vaneless Hales Pattern Mk I/L, .303 inch rifle grenade, a crucial weapon employed during the pivotal year of 1916 in the First World War. Manufactured by the esteemed Western Electric Company, this grenade was a significant innovation in the development of trench warfare munitions. The Vaneless Hales Pattern Mk I/L was designed to be attached to the muzzle of a .303 inch rifle, enabling infantrymen to engage enemy positions at close range with explosive force. This grenade was an improvement upon earlier designs, as it featured a vaneless tail fin that ensured greater stability in flight, allowing for greater accuracy and effectiveness. The year 1916 marked a turning point in the war, with significant battles such as the Battle of Verdun and the Battle of the Somme. The introduction of new weapons, including the Vaneless Hales Pattern Mk I/L, played a vital role in the evolving tactics of the war. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the technological advancements and innovations that shaped the landscape of the First World War battlefield. This image, taken in 1914, offers a rare glimpse into the history of military technology during this period. The intricate details of the grenade's design are evident, from the finely machined metal components to the delicate wiring and ignition system. The Vaneless Hales Pattern Mk I/L, .303 inch rifle grenade stands as a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of those who sought to give their soldiers an edge in the deadly conflict that was World War One.
