An “Honorable Mention” was certainly in order for the British inventor Edward Dartford Holmes who conceived of a three tiered, time fuse anti-artillery shell:
“Briefly, his scheme calls for a shrapnel shell containing a number of compartments which are each exploded in turn at predetermined intervals.”
(Time fuses would be perfected after the war)
