Hi,
In answer to your question:
The Projector, Infantry, Anti Tank (PIAT), was one of the earlier anti-tank weapons using a high explosive anti-tank projectile. It was developed by the British starting in 1941, reaching the field in time for the invasion of Sicily in 1943.

If you look up Major Robert Cain on Wikipedia it tells how he used his Piat to great effect at Arnhem.
