Not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question, but here goes.
Can anyone tell me anything about a WW1 fuse called the candy twist or cheese twist? for use in the underground tunnels. Supposedly invented by my Grandfather Andre Levy-Strauss,it is said it was more waterproof than previous fuses. Grandfather was awarded the Croix de Guerre, but not sure if it was on the strength of the invention.
Thanks in advance
