The Churchill AVRE is a variant of the Churchill tank armed with an emplacement demolishing Petard 290mm Spigot mortar.
History
A Churchill III or IV equipped with the Petard, a 290 mm Spigot mortar, throwing the 40 pound (18 kg) "Flying dustbin" with its 28 pound high explosive warhead. A weapon designed for the quick leveling of fortifications. It was designed after the Canadian defeat at Dieppe, and could also be equipped with numerous other attachments, such as mine flails, fascine rollers, explosive placers etc. Post WW2 the Churchill AVRE was re-armed with a breech loaded low velocity 165 mm demolition gun which was less dangerous for the loader as he previously had to stick his head and torso out of the Spigot Mortar armed AVRE to load the Mortar.
Tactics & Tips
- Use it in its intended role and provide emplacement destroying support with the mortar.
