Carriers and 2" mortars
Folks.
I am just gathering information regarding the use of 2" mortars from Can / Brit carriers, does anyone have any information regarding what ordnance were carried (yes I know it will be 2" mortar) but were there specific amounts of different projectiles, or was it a case of grab what you need pertinent to your impending engagement. secondly what were the projectiles stored in, and where were they stored ? I know the tube was stored on a purpose made mount on the gunners left protection plate (Mk2*) any help would be appreciated. (I have misplaced my carrier books since the extension was built) Cheers Richie

There was also a modification for the mk1 carrier where they mounted it on the engine cover instead of the firing rest that is normally in that location. I believe the source for the modification was in one of the CAMT pamphlet. It did not list the munition load, nor where to stow it.

I believe this is the modification Rob is talking about.

Interesting modification of late style base plate infantry mortar. Never seen that. Was it ever operationally used?
