Several other sources give a calibre of 76.2 mm, the same as its designation. Is there a source for the stated calibre of 81.2 mm? 72.66.50.42 ( talk) 00:53, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
Given the original, unstabilized projectiles, how accurate a weapon was the Stokes mortar?-- 172.190.46.188 ( talk) 04:30, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
Did Stokes really get "royalties of £1 per Stokes mortar shell produced"?. This seems like a boat load of moolah even for such a nifty weapon. An average factory worker's wages were less than a couple of quid a week even in 1918. If he was getting this kind of money Stokes would have been very wealthy by the end of the war.

The article currently says when the weapon was designed and when it was rejected by the army. Missing is the info when it was first tested in the field, or when it was distributed en masse. For example it would be interesting to know whether it was already used in the Gallipoli Campaign or in the Battle of Loos. -- BjKa ( talk) 20:28, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
I was just wondering why the article is in past tense if there are still surviving Stokes mortars. I thought you could only use past tense once there aren't any surviving examples left. NamelessLameless ( talk) 21:16, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
