M1 chemical mine

The M1 was a United States chemical landmine. It was developed in 1939, and consisted of a one gallon (4.5 liter) gasoline can filled with 9.9 lbs (4.5 kg) of mustard gas agent. As issued, it had no bursting charge or fuze, but required a bursting charge of detonating cord to be attached via soldered tabs on the outside of the can.{{Cite web |url=https://www.denix.osd.mil/rcwmprogram/history/ |title=History of United States' Involvement in Chemical Warfare |website=DENIX |publisher=United States Department of Defense |access-date=2019-06-06}}{{Cite report |title=A century of innovation: The army's chemical and biological defense program |last=Smart |first=Jeffery K. |date=2015 |publisher=U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command History Office |page=16}}
