    The Battle of The Somme took place between 1 July and 18 November 1916 on both sides of the River Somme in France. The battle was one of the largest of World War I, in which more than 1,000,000 men were wounded or killed, making it one of the bloodiest battles in human history.

    This grenade (also known as the 'Ball grenade' or 'Cricket ball grenade') was segmented by grooves inside the body. It was introduced in July 1915 and used during the Battle of Loos in September but was susceptible to damp and was withdrawn later that year.
