The jam tin grenade, comprising the double-cylinder Nos. 8 and 9 hand grenades, was an improvised explosive device used by British and Commonwealth forces, notably the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, during the First World War. Also called the bully beef tin grenade, it was one of many grenades designed by ANZAC soldiers early in the war in response to a lack of equipment suited to trench warfare.
