exercises from this short course
consist of stepping up to the
firing line and going into action
with an Italian trench mortar
or fiat machine gun.
MANY recent communicates
from the Greek High Command
have reported the seizure Of
Italian mortars. The war bull
letin of Jan. 8 said a whole
company of them had been TAX
en- and communique the next
day reported the capture of 20
mOre.)
The mortar, which the Greeks
say Is about the best of Italian
weapons in this terrain, is a
small, black, snub-nosed gun,
looking very much like a toy
cannon.
Far from being q toy, it fires
a projectile which resembles q
miniature airplane bomb.
The Greeks seem to enjoy
chucking the Red and Black
shells into the mouth of the
mortar and watching their loop
ing flight and ultimate explosion
400 yards away.
The explosion is extremely
noisy and accompanied by q
great red glare. The Greeks say
their own mortars are just as
effective but not nearly as
spectacular.
Another color-note on this
drab battlefront is the bright
red of captured Italian hand
grenades, stacked neatly about
Greek outposts in readiness for
use against their makers.
Even the italian artillery
shells are brightly-colored, in
marked contrast with the grey
green of the Greek-made NUM-
tons.
In addition to captured Ital-
ian weapons, the Greeks rely
on their mobile artillery, which
they say will outshoot the fas-
cist weapons.
The Greeks have captured war
material of nearly every sort
but say they have rarely found
food. Many captured areas have
been scraped clean of livestock,
potatoes, onions and practically
everything else edible, the
Greeks say.
