| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The emergence of trench warfare on the Western Front proved to be fertile ground for the development of the mortar. Yet for all their worth, trench mortars struggled to compete with more traditional forms of artillery in the British Army, their crews often working other duties, and full integration with infantry units was lacking even as late as 1918. |
