bomb. To ignite the fuse, you had to
rub It on the STRIKER" just the same
as striking q match. The fuse was
timed to five seconds or longer. Some
of the fuses issued in those days would
burn down in a second or two, while
others would "sizz" for a week before
exploding. Back in Blighty the NUM-
ton workers weren't quite up to snuff,
the way they are now. If the fuse took
notion to burn too quickly they gen.
orally buried the bomb maker next
day. So making bombs could not be
called a "cushy" or safe job.
After making several bombs the pro-
fessOr instructs the platoon in throw
ing them. He takes a liam TIM from
the fire STEP trembling a little, be-
cause it is nervous work, especially
when new at it, lights the fuse on his
striker. The fuse begins to "sizz" and
sputter and a spiral of smoke, like
that from smoldering fag, rises from
it. The platoon splits in two and
ducks around the traverse nearest to
them. They don't like the looks and
sound of the burning fuse. When that
fuse begins to smoke and "sizz' you
want to say good-by to it as soon as
possible, so Tommy with all his might
chucks it over the top and crouchcs
against the parapet, waiting for the
explosion.
Lots of times in bombing the liam
TIM would be picked up by the Ger
mans, before it exploded, and thrown
back at Tommy with dire results.
After lot of men went West in this
manner an order was issued, reading
something like this:
ITO all ranks in the British army
After igniting the fuse and before
