The No. 73 Anti-Tank Grenade "Thermos/Flask" was used by the Commonwealth Forces in WW2. The grenade used the "Allways" impact fuze meaning that as soon as the grenade hit the ground, the fuze would detonate. The body of the grenade is made of tinplate. Initially this grenade was intended for use against armored vehicles but it was later used more for demolition work.
