lyddite

We have also a five-inch lyddite gun (Clements brought it), which sent up huge clouds of brown dust where the shell struck.

They made very light of lyddite, and laughed at the legend that the fumes are dangerous.

Here a corner of one of the massive entrance pillars had been sharply severed off by a British lyddite shell.

A lyddite missile had done the deed; no "common" shell, we argued, could have created such a noise.

Such faces I did not think could be worn by human beings; they were orange with lyddite smoke.
