Yes. Old time hand grenades had fuses you had to light by hand. Although this is a French grenadier, the British used them in the same way to throw grenades down onto the decks of neighboring ships they had locked in battle. They were lit with a match. In this case, a piece of smoldering nitrite saturated cotton.

During the Revolutionary War, British grenadiers also climbed to high places (trees?) and threw down their grenades on the unsuspecting revolutionaries (we call them Patriots). This turned out to be about as effective dressing your troops in bright red with glistening brass, lining them up in a row, and very slowly advancing on the revolutionaries hiding behind trees and fences and shooting them with rifles.

Just in case you were wondering, we won.

Anyone have a match?
