Hi Al'saad,

Were British 2 Inch mortars used during the Yugoslavian war?

Three rivets !

Madbomber is right and if you feel the top cap it will also have three raised rivets for night identification.

i assume that these are issued to tito's partisan units as help from allies. shell is found in area where surpluse of ammo has been destroyed after WWII.

i have not seen any of 2in mortars operational during last war...and i don't know whether british troopes in peace force used this ammo.

Were British 2 Inch mortars used during the Yugoslavian war?
