Default Rigger,

After mentioning liking that 120mm mil. Mortar photo, such got me thinking of those same big mothers that our APC (designated COWS as per my old pocket notebook) Mortar Sections used to fire & train with.

Well, I was wrong my friend. Old details from 55-58 or from over a-half-century ago prove me wrong (plus a little fuzzy). Only notes I had in my little notebook were for an 81mm Mortar.

Just out of curiosity Steve, were Our APCs called: "COWS" for radio security, in your day?

How about: PONY for jeep, HORSE for 3/4 ton, MULE for 2 1/2 ton & BUFFALO for tank,...unless reporting enemy vehicles in-the-clear?

Neil
