Livens Projectors

Men of the Special Brigade load oil or gas drums into emplaced Livens projectors.

 

The projectors were developed in the summer of 1916 as a replacement for flamethrowers. Soon they replaced gas cylinders as well.

 

Livens projectors were first used on a mass scale at Arras on April 4, 1917.
