Default smoke grenade used in second world war

Hi Michael:
Regarding smoke grenades remember I am going back over 60 years and my memory is like a guy who has a hammock with one tree. I believe we had smoke grenades for our 2 inch mortars that we used in England early in the war. In the Italian campaign we had smoke generators and also phosphate grenades. Plus as you know we also had the Mills hand grenade. I am sure if you contact Mark he can advise you on some good tech information regarding these weapons.
Here is a photo, as you will see the ignition pin for the smoke grenade in this group of devices that I worked with in Italy.
