It doesn't mortar to me what you do here as long as you're not crude.

Nice photo. If you were a sniper whom would you shoot first ? The guy with tape on his helmet ?
Notice the figure between what appears to be a kublewagon? And a truck ? What kind of AT gun is on the ridge line in the background?

I'd go for him, might have binoculars. Or the guy in the tank.

No idea about the AT gun, but I would shoot the guy carrying what looks like a briefcase, because I assume that's the carrying case for the mortar rounds. Hitting that might cause an explosion that could injure multiple people.
I thought it was a cool picture because, while there are some pictures showing what weapons look like dismantled, there are very few that show how dismantled weapons are carried.

Military motto: Shoot the man next to the one with the radio.
Makes sense if you see the Korean War memorial in DC.

The one says to the other:
I just can't seem to get myself together since Chuck Norris hip-fired me.

Lol! Maybe too much time to think.
I've always found humor a wonderful distraction when the times are not so wonderful.

I count around 28 infantry in this photo. Any guesses as to what they represent? A couple squads? Three infantry crews? A mixture of both?

My guess is a mortar platoon of a heavy weapons company of a battalion. Whatever the German names are for those.

I believe the briefcases are holding maps and/or firing charts.

Where are those vehicles in that photo? There appears to be a Mark III immediately in front of the mortar crews, but perhaps my prescription needs to be updated to make out any other vehicles.
