Just as an example - some quick links, all mentioning Sherman's 2" smoke mortars:http://www.wwiivehic...m4_sherman.htmlhttp://www.combatmis...dtanks/m4a1.asphttp://www.geocities...ricantanks.htmland something about Britshttp://www.geocities...itishtanks.htmlCanadianshttp://www.junobeach...-arm-can-ep.htmAnd I did found a lot more...MZI am unaware of mortars being attached to top of the Sherman turret. I have several books on the M4 and none mention this, although I'm sure odd things such as this were done by individual crews. I also believe this was not done by the British either, at least not on their Shermans.
