AP Mines In WW1


I have as many have been reading a lot more about WW1 with 2018 being the centenary year, and a thought struck me I had heard very little in regards to Mine warfare, by that I mean the small AP type not the tunnelled type as at Messines.

I had a thought that a Claymore type device could provide increased defensive fire power in the defence, either for defenders or for attackers facing counter attacks.

So my question is what impact would the use of AP mines have had in WW1 for either side, and were they technically feasible?
