Versions
- 2/1 Armoured Regiment 4th Australian Brigade Papua New Guinea 1945
|
Based on the British Matilda tank, this vehicle was fitted with a 7 spigot 'Hedgehog' naval mortar. The launcher folded horizontal, facing forward for travel, then could be raised up to 80 degrees for firing.
It fired forward over the turret. Not being traversable, the driver had to aim the vehicle at the target.
