Re: RE Chemical 4.2" Mortar Companies in Med?
The only such unit listed in Joslen's Orders of Battle is 66 Mortar Company, RE, as part of the El Alamein orbat, which is perhaps why they get the mention. A quick look on the National Archives brings up a 68 Chemical Warfare Mortar Company war diary for July 1943, in the Middle East area. Not sure if that was the same type of unit, or indeed if they used 4.2-in mortars.
