OPS!!!!!!!!!!
 
What did they hit something filled with gasoline? I like the explosion, but it looks like some fuel was involved in it.

It was a planned BOOM! They were shooting for accuracy and distance during the afternoon. This was the last shot of the day and I believe went just as they planned. I'm sure there was some liquid involved. It was fun watching the mortar rounds fly through the air.
 
Great photo, looks as if a LOT of something was used on the last round.
 
I was off to the right somewhere when this explosion occurred, walking from camp to the sutlers the long way around. It was LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes it was. But my son and I love things that go BOOM. I might have a picture of you somewhere.I have about 300 shots from that day.
