Description
The Mine E.P. Mk VI consists of the following components: loaded mine body, fuze mechanism, and mine cover. The mine cover is fastened to the body by three pins which engage slots provided in three retaining straps attached to the mine body.
The mine body is mushroom shaped and contains a central well for the insertion of the fuze. The mine is similar to the Mine E.P. Mk V, except that the fuze pocket is smaller to accommodate the Fuze No. 3 Mk I, and the Mine Mk VI is slightly heavier.
This mine is used as a defense against armored cars, tanks, and other vehicles. The mine will break the tracks of light or medium tanks and disable other vehicles.
