Information on the Bellairs Trench Mortar Wanted

[peteblight]

Does anyone have information on the Bellairs Trench Mortar?
I have a pdf of the patent and a bit of info from the IWM, but what i'm really after is some pictures of the glass "projectile" it fired.

Cheers

Pete

Pete,

Herewith a couple of poor photographs of the mortar and a bottle taken at the IWM in the 1970s. The bottle had an accession description that claimed it would be filled with JL but I cannot be certain that it was for the Bellairs Mortar. The picture I am looking for is of a bottle in a light steel frame.
