Definition
A small, portable mortar or cannon used in siege warfare, typically mounted on a stand or carried by soldiers.
Etymology
Named after Baron Menno van Coehoorn (1641-1704), a Dutch military engineer and fortification expert who designed or improved this type of siege weapon.
Kelly Says
Military technology often gets named after the engineers who perfected them—the 'coehorn' is named after a Dutch genius of fortification whose innovations made him one of the most celebrated military minds of the 17th century, yet few people know his name today.
