Thursday 4th November 1915: The idea of using large catapults
attached to front line trenches in order to project bombs such as the cumbersome grenade shown above at the enemy has
been used for a little while on the Western Front. Yesterday the 1st/5th
Battalion erected one on the left hand section of its trench at Gallipoli and
have pronounced its use a success. It can throw these devices far further than
the human arm and with some accuracy.
