each battalion having a mortar platoon with three OR four sections; and each section deploying two mortars.

emphasis mine
but nobody seems to want to part with the vital information about when this blessed event occurred and that is something the error ferrets like to call us on so if anyone has good solid information about when all this may have started...please do share it with us.

This is a result of the vile SDR 2010, that
gutted a large amount of the British Armed Forces, due to a combination of corrupt Bankers and a Conservative-Liberal democrat Government that did a 'Defence Review' that had
nothing whatever to do with defence and
everything to do with saving money.
So many British battalions were cut that 8 X 81mm mortar tubes was easy to do. That's it...
