British Army Mortar Designations(2,3,4.2-inch)

[Kwon]

Dear members,


I am looking for detailed technical data and cross-section images of British mortar ammunition—specifically for the 2-inch, 3-inch, and 4.2-inch mortars.


I am particularly interested in the internal structures and fuzing mechanisms of the following types:


• HE

Smoke


• WP


• Illumination


If anyone has scanned copies of Technical Manuals (TM) or high-resolution diagrams showing the internal components, I would be most grateful if you could share them.


If it is more convenient, please feel free to send any relevant files to my email address: trew2003@gmail.com


Thank you very much for your time and assistance.


Best regards,

Thank you for the feedback.

I have already reviewed the 2-inch material.

I recently recovered 3-inch mortar rounds after an RSP. Since the MK2 and MK3 have identical exterior shapes, I am looking for diagrams to understand how to distinguish between HE (High Explosive) and WP (White Phosphorus) when they are identified in the field. There is not much data available on British ammunition, so I am reaching out to you.

Your data saves my life.

I am currently collecting data on 2-inch, 3-inch, and 4.2-inch mortars for my records. If you have internal structural diagrams for each type, please share them with m
