Loading2inchMortarBalkanFront.jpg (300 × 417 pixels, file size: 114 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)

Description
English: Photograph of British troops loading a Vickers 2 inch Medium Mortar ("Toffee Apple" mortar) with "Post, No.4, Mark I periscope" attached.

The caption states this is on the Balkan front, which could be deliberate wartime disinformation. This in fact appears to be a training exercise as no fuse is visible on the bomb, and frontline trenches would be deeper.

See also Image:TroopsOperating2inchMortarInTrenchWWI.jpg which appears to be of the same location.
