This shows a 3’ Mortar Team preparing to open fire. No: 1 of the weapon is setting the sight whilst the others prepare bombs for the ‘stonk’ they are about to drop onto the target.The striped rod in front is one of the aiming posts which would be set out to use in the DF(SOS) mode, Defensive Fire SOS.
