GERMANS FIRST USED
GRENADES AND BOMRS
WITH THE FRENCH ARMY, Mar.
1.—(British Eyewitness)—In connec
tion with the importance nowadays at
tached to the hand grenade and bomb
in trench warfare, it is interesting to
note that the tirst use of these wea
pons in the present war was by the
German forces in the Argonne and in
Belgium, 1 f*l4. The forces employing
them were the 1st and 16th German
corps. It was from these corps that
the garrisons of Metz and Strassburg
were drawn, so that it is probable that
they had been provided with their
bombs from the stocks of these fort
resses, and trained there in their em
ployment.
Up to this time the minewerfer,
which had been studied in Germany
before the war, does not seem to have
been regarded as anything except a
fortress weapon. Its use, however, in
trench warfare became general on the
German side in January and Febraury
1!)16, so that it must have been manu
factured in considerable quantities at
the end of 1911.
The French displayed their tradi
tional powers of improviation in the
reply they made to these new weapons.
They collected the shrapnel cases that
had been fired by the German field 77
gun, of which there was abundance.
They mounted the shrapnel cases on
wooden stands on which they had
something the appearance of a toad,
whence came the word "crapouillot,”
now a general term for trench mor
tars, und used it as a miniature mor-!
tar to throw explosives into the en-;
emy’s trenches. It was a simple and .
not ineffective weapon, with the great
advantage of being supremely cheap
and easy to manufacture. Its official i
name was the Cellerier, after the artil
lery captain who intented it.
In addition to the Cellerier crapouil
lot a number of old sixty-inch mortars
were sent to the trenches from the ar
senals and in March they were rein
forced by a complete system of scien
tific trench artillery, including the ad
mirable 58-m gun.
Meanwhile the use of hand grenades
was steadily advancing. The first gre
nades available were of the most an
cient model, fitted with an exposed
time fu.-e and drawn from the stocks
still preserved of siege material. In
February, 1915, the Germans profiting
hy their superior manufacturing pow
er and their state of preparedness,
were already provided with "offensive”
grenades, that is, grenades which
either produced no splinters at all or
splinters that carried so short a dis
tance that the man who threw them
was in no danger even if he was with
out cover.
At all times the Germans made use
of two kinds of grenades, the one con
sisting of high explosives without any
metal envelope, the other having a
Steel envelope in two parts, fitted to
gether like the shell of a tortoise. I)e -
pit*' thi.' important material advant
age, which was of the greatest value
in hand-to-hand fighting, the German
failed to make any impression on thi
French lines during the spring of 191'.,
and about July of that year the French
troops were provided w ith grenades of
both the defensive and offensive types
that were quite equal to the German.
