The Bangalore torpedo and the 2.36" anti-tank rocket can both be uses as anti-tank mines, with slight improvisations, as is explained below.

BANGALORE TORPEDO AS ANTI-TANK MINE:

Special torpedo cape are furnished with each box of 10 bangalores to adapt the bangalore torpedo for use on an anti-tank mine. Pull firing detonators are funished se-parately. To assemble the bangalore for use as an anti-tank mine, insert detonators in two torpedo caps, place a safety pin through the torpedo cap ears and the detonator loop of each, and snap a torpedo cap onto each end of torpedo so that the detonator fits into the cap well. Lay torpedo on ground across a wooden block and drive 8-inch spikes on drift pins into the ground as close to the ends as possible. Pass the detonator wire through each detonator loop and attach the wire to the spike. Make sure there is no tension on the detonator wire. Withdraw safety pin. The mine is now armed, ready for use, and dangerous.

USE OF ANTI-TANK ROCKET AS ANTI-TANK MINE:

The anti-tank rocket M6 may be employed as an improvised anti-tank mine as fol-lows: Place the rocket, nose up in its container, in a hole about 2 feet deep, either in a roadhead or horizontally on the side of a cut or bank. It can be set to fire electrically by arranging a circuit containing the rocket, a battery, and an improvised circuit closer. Connections to the rocket are made on the ignition wires, one from the brass ring on the nose, the other from the fins. Oridnary field telephone wire will serve; the battery and connections should be protected from water if necessary.

The container cap is removed and the other end knocked out. The container is thus used as a guide for the rocket. A hole is punched in the container cap through which the electric firing device wires (or trip wire) are run. When connection have been made, the container cap is slid in place over the fins to protect the contacts from fouling. The rocket safety pin is removed, the container tube is slid over the rocket and joined to the cap, and the assembly is placed in the hole. Loose dirt and leaves are then placed over all of the rocket except the nose; the nose is concealed by covering with leaves or light bunches of grass. Care must be taken not to bump the nose; as the rocket is completely armed when the safety pin is removed.
