Other Description:
The mortar fin section consists of six fins concentric set around a central perforated core. It is 75mm long and has a central core of 25mm. The threaded end section has an internal diameter of 8mm. There appear to be no distinguishing.
Historic Context:
The most likely match is the tail fin of the British 2” mortar used at Platoon level by many of the Cambridgeshire units at Adam Park. It appears that this particular fin had been fired. The fin cannot be directly associated with Holyhead’s 3” mortar team.
