What's this?

I don't think a "Chemical Warfare" term necessarily means WMD.


Chemical mortars are so named because of their capability of firing not only high explosive, but also chemical, gas, incendiary and smoke marker shells. Chemical shells were on standby during World War II, to be used in retaliation should the enemy employ chemical weapons first.

I had a relative that was in one of these units.
