The Imperial MunitionsBoard IMB was a national agency, set up in Canada under the chairmanship of Joseph Wesley Flavelle by the British War Cabinet to alleviate the Shell Crisis of 1915 during the First World War . The Board was mandated to sign contracts on behalf of the British government for the manufacture of war materials in Canada. It established state owned factories to produce munitions and materials that could not be produced by the private sector including railroad workshops and small factories to produce heavy artillery shells for the Western Front World War I Western Front . The Board also oversaw the production of ships and aircraft. The IMB was dissolved in 1919.

refimprove date January 2011 Atomic demolition munitions ADMs , colloquially known as nuclear land mines, are small nuclear explosive device s. ADMs were developed for both military and civilian purposes. As weapons, they were designed to be exploded in the forward battle area, in order to block or channel enemy forces. Non militarily, they were designed for demolition, mining or earthmoving. However, apart from testing, they have never been used for either purpose. Military uses Instead of being delivered to the target by missiles, rockets, or artillery shells, ADMs were intended to be emplaced by soldiers. Due to their relatively small size and light weight, ADMs could be emplaced by military engineers or Special Forces teams, then detonated on command or by timer to create massive obstructions. By destroying key terrain features or choke points such as bridges, dams, mountain passes and tunnels, ADMs could block the movement of enemy forces or channel them into prepared killing zone s. ref Field Manual 5 106, Employment of Atomic Demolition Munitions Washington Department of the Army, July 1984 Unclassified . ref According to official accounts, the United States deployed ADMs overseas in Italy and West Germany during the Cold War . ref Kenneth W.

The Ashton under Lyne munitions explosion occurred on June 13, 1917 when the Hooley Hill Rubber and Chemical Works caught fire and exploded. The factory was engaged in the production of Trinitrotoluene TNT for the war effort and was completely destroyed. Forty three people were killed and most of the surrounding area was left devastated. ref name AME Ashton Munitions Explosion by John Billings and David Copland. ISBN 0 904506 17 7 ref Preface The Hooley Hill Rubber and Chemical Company was founded in 1914 by Sylvain Dreyfus and Lucien Gaisman. Dreyfus was born in 1866, in Alsace , France and was the nephew of Charles Dreyfus , founder of the Clayton Aniline Company . Gaisman was a Swiss national from Basle . The company established its first factory in Stamford Road, Audenshaw which was followed later by another factory at Chatham Street, Edgeley , Stockport . ref name AME War was declared against Germany on August 4, 1914 and the following day the company approached the War Office to offer its services. At first the company was rebuffed by the War Office, which later relented due to the chronic shortage of TNT. The total British output of TNT prior to the First World War had amounted to around twenty tons per annum. A sustained artillery barrage could easily expend many times that amount in a single day. On October 28, 1914, an offer was made to the company to build a plant capable of producing around five tons of TNT per week. Following further negotiations a contract was signed on November 26, 1914. ref name AME The government awarded the company a grant of 10,000 towards the cost of erecting the plant. A former cotton mill in William Street, Ashton under Lyne , next to the canal was acquired. The building with its substantial brick walls and heavy concrete floors was deemed suitable for adaptation as a chemical plant.
