Fixed quote mentioned. KJP1 probably better placed to address the particular type of bomb. CMD (talk) 12:48, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Yes, take the point. Somewhere else I definitely read it was smoke bombs. And when you think about it, it’s not likely to have been high explosives. I just need to remember where. Many thanks for the helpful edits. KJP1 (talk) 16:51, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
