| 説明 | Mortars in a trench. The mortars consist of cast-iron spheres with a long solid tail unit. These appear quite large, and are of the 'toffee apple' type , originally designed by Vickers. They are quite different from the more usual Stokes mortar bombs, which were cylindrical.Mortar bombs were designed to be fired at a steep angle, so that they could drop down into the enemy trenches. They could be fired from fairly light and manoeuvrable mortars which looked like metal tubes with a firing pin inside. The bombs, which were dropped into the tube, had a percussive charge which detonated when it hit the firing pin and projected them into the air.[Original reads: 'A store of our big mortars in a captured trench.']digital.nls.uk/74549520 |
