Talking of mil-surplus, my father and his fellow squaddies in the UK Royal
Engineers used to fish in Ireland during WW2 using gun-cotton. He was there
looking after the mustard gas (which of course we didn't have), he also
trained special forces in demolition. Apparently, a standard slab of
gun-cotton (about the size of a paperback book) left hanging in the flue of
the stoves used in the army huts was the usual way of showing one's
displeasure with the occupants.
