Sir,
thanks muchly(
) for your detailed reply! But.....
.....you mention there were mortar tracks. Were those tracks set aside for the carriage of mortars (which were used dismounted and thereby originated with/were owned by the infantry) or were they dedicated mortar tracks (ie., the baseplate was part and parcel of the vehicle). If the latter were those mortar tracks only ever for infantry usage when the APC sqn was attached? Did this mean that the Inf bn/coy had no integral mortar sub-units or did they combine (
a la the US Strykers) and deploy dismounted and mounted (or self-propelled) mortars?
