 <description><![CDATA[The Grenade in this picture is the No: 94 Energa Infantry anti-tank  weapon which is fired from  the .303” Lee Enfield No: 4 Rifle using a projector all<br />
Men carried. The rocket shape can be seen with the tail-fins to the left of the picture.  It was fired using a Ballastite Cartridge and was a ‘hollow<br />
charge” action.  It had a ‘graze-nose-fuse’ so did not have to hit square on the target.  It could be fired at any target if necessary but the cartridge had<br />
quite a kick’ so the trigger would only be stroked with a straight index finger<br />
And the rifle butt dug into the ground if necessary.]]></description>
