Originally developed in 1915 and designated the No. 5, Mark I Mills grenade, this was later modified in 1916 for use with a rifle grenade launcher. It was later designated the No.36M MK I. This latter pattern was used throughout the second world war, not being replaced until the late 1960s.

The egg-shaped grenade meas. approx. 4.00 inches tall with a circumference of approx. 7.50 inches at its widest point. The body is of serrated cast iron with a detachable striker lever, fixed in place by a horizontal pin. The grenade has the remnants of a band of red X’s which were the Commonwealth markings for a grenade that was filled and sealed for use in tropical (moist) climates. The lever is held in place by a brass cotter pin with a steel ring. The lever is engraved "F.L.H." A screw hole, with a slotted plug, is opposite the pin at the top which allows access to the interior cavity surrounding the striker and detonator, where the charge would normally be. Stamped to the body of the grenade is "F.L.H." The bottom of the grenade has a 1.25-inch plug that is marked "No. 36, Mk1" and “6” "40" and “F.L.H.”
