Default Smoke grenades

These cans are for the British PW smoke grenades. They were regular issue to Recce troops for air signaling and identification of ground troops. A piece of kit we were issued with the M113F Lynx was a pair of smoke grenade bins which were never mounted, it was too much a pain in the ass to install them and then remove them for every kit check. Supposedly the bins were of British manufacture and held three grenades and I was told were originally issued with the Ferrets. I really questioned this as they were the US style "loam/interior green" and not silver. I really thought they were for the original mounted smoke launchers.

When we did get smoke grenades they were just thrown into a convenient bin. We didn't use them often, mostly for work with helicopters.
