About the Unit:
Mortar platoons allowed British infantry commanders to respond rapidly with suppressive fire before heavier artillery could be brought to bear. With a maximum range of over 2,500 yards, the 3-inch mortar was effective at harassing enemy infantry, machine-gun nests, and anti-tank positions. Operating in platoons, they ensured that Commonwealth rifle companies always had flexible and dependable firepower close at hand.
