The 2 inch mortar was developed in 1938 with 500 units being available at the beginning of WW2, it saw service throughout the war with several versions being released over the duration of hostilities. Aiming was simply a matter of pointing the mortar in the direction of the enemy and either lowering or raising the barrel to achieve the desired range. Because of the short length of the barrel no bipod was deemed necessary. The 2 inch mortar was finally withdrawn from British army service in the 1980’s and as such could be counted as a very successful design, that gave excellent service throughout its service history. The Commando version comes with our figures wearing the famous green beret and Denison smocks which were worn by this elite fighting unit from 1944 onwards. limited to 100 pieces each.
