A strange nest, Beaumont-Hamel, May 2016
A dangerous one too. Primed and ready for use, this cache of British Mills Grenades lies where they have been left by a farmer for the munitions collection teams who regularly pass through the old battlefields. Mills Bombs are a surprisingly common find, and present a particularly sinister sight whenever you happen upon them, small, deadly, and a very immediate and direct link to the terrible events of 100 years ago.
