Mortarconfirmed
The M1 mortar is an American 81 millimeter caliber mortar. It was based on the French Brandt mortar. The M1 mortar was used from before World War II until the 1950s when it was replaced by the lighter and longer ranged M29 mortar. The VPA used many M1 mortars captured from France (equipped by the US) and self-produced, equipped to battalions and regiments.
