SS117B - Infanteer & Mortar Ammo
The effectiveness of a mortar crew depended not only on the weapon itself but also on the constant supply of ammunition needed to sustain accurate indirect fire. Mortar bombs were heavy and cumbersome, requiring dedicated soldiers to transport them from supply points to firing positions, often while under enemy observation or artillery attack.
This figure depicts an infantryman carrying mortar ammunition, representing one of the essential support roles within every mortar section. Without these soldiers, even the most experienced crews would quickly exhaust their ammunition during prolonged engagements, reducing the effectiveness of one of the infantry's most valuable support weapons.
The carefully sculpted pose conveys the physical effort required to transport heavy ammunition across challenging terrain. Combined with authentic uniform details and field equipment, the figure brings additional realism to mortar teams and infantry support units.
Support personnel were every bit as important as the soldiers operating the weapons they supplied. The Military Workshop proudly offers historical military figures that recognise the contribution of every member of a combat unit, allowing collectors to recreate the complete organisation of World War II infantry formations.
