Title[edit]

This page should be titled Ordnance SB 4.2 inch MortarNfe (talk) 08:38, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Combat Use[edit]

1. As far as I am aware, it was only in Italy that divisions had such a pool of 4.2" Mortars. I have amended article to reflect this position.

2. 4.2" Mortars did reach units in Burma - see http://nigelef.tripod.com/otherfp.htm#Mortars

3. I didn't think that RA Light Btys had mortars; if they did, it was a very short time as by the korean war, the mortars were used by royal artillery Mortar Btys - e.g. 170 independent mortar bty ra at the Imjin - http://www.glosters.org/citation.htm Glevum (talk) 01:33, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, Canada[edit]

This page says a 4.2" was used, & this weapon is the likely one, but this page doesn't mention it. Is this it? Or was there another? TREKphiler ^{any time you're ready, Uhura} 19:56, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
