Where can you get information on the 80th Chemical Mortar BN in World War 2?
Infantrymen absolutely LOVED to have these Chemical Mortars where they could call of them for fire. Their weapon was a 4.2 inch (107mm) mortar, which could fire not only gas shells, but smoke, incendiary and what the infantry loved, high-explosive shells. Very effective against stationary targets. The guys in these mortar battalions were often called "four-deucers" because of the 4.2 inch size of their shells. (This is the diameter of their shells). There are a few details at http://4point2.org about the 80th Chemical Mortar Bn. There's a decent wikipedia article on Chemical Mortars but no specifics on the 80th C. M. Bn. The 80th C. M. Bn was in the Pacific, and it appears that at least Company A of the Battalion was attached for a time to the Americal Division ( which is actually the 23rd Infantry Division).
