The M1 was a U.S. chemical landmine. It 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.
