Hello TA,

I think we were on the receiving end of just about everything the japs could throw at us at one time or another, over the years my wife had picked enough shrapnel out of me to shoe a horse. Never could tell if it was ours or theirs.

Those knee mortars were pretty common, we had been briefed never to
attempt to fire one against your leg or you would end up with a broken thigh bone. We used a 60mm mortar tube when we had one available.
