The Carrier, 3-inch Mortar (Aust) was a design based on the 2 Pounder Carrier with a 3-inch mortar mounted in place of the 2 pounder. Designed to enable the mortar to have 360 degree traverse and to be fired either from the vehicle, or dismounted. 400 were produced and were ultimately sent as military aid to the Nationalist Chinese Army.

I cannot find any record of Australia using them in the South Pacific, but they are in the Bolt Action list so here is another one to add to the short range HE support of the 2/7th Field Artillery troop.

Tomorrow – Bolt Action has another choice instead of this and I will post on it tomorrow.
