Written and published by John Bailey, 'British Rifle Grenades of the Great War' is the second in his highly readable and authorative series on British grenades, and this is the revised and expanded 2nd Edition of the book.

Printed in A4 size and with soft card covers, the book contains 130 pages following the development of British Rifle grenades in British service from 1914 until the end of WW1. From the drawing board and through trials versions, John Bailey faithfully charts the development of all 32 types of 'standard' WW1 British Rifle grenades. Also in this book is a lot of background on the major inventors of these.

Copiously illustrated throughout with colour and black and white photographs, line drawings and diagrams of the grenades, including rare prototypes, variants, packaging, launchers and accessories, this book goes far beyond the detail given in more well known grenade books. Foreword by Norman Bonney

As with the others in this series, I have no hesitation in commending the book to anyone with an interest in ordnance or 'The Great War'!

First edition originally published in 2019. Revised 2nd Edition first published in 2024.
