GRANVILLE Posted 10 May , 2015 Share Posted 10 May , 2015 On p 27 8(d) above, mention is made as follows: 'Grenadiers, Mills grenade extracting hook. Arrangements for carrying these must be made.' Can some elaborate on what the hook was used for and what it looked like? David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
