An in-depth study of the Vickers MG in use around the world throughout the 20th Century.
The Machine Gun platoon of the Divisional Machine Gun Battalion started off as a 15-cwt Truck-borne unit.
By the time the small arms manual was printed in 1944, it solely referred to the use of Universal Carrier. The quantity of gun numbers had also decreased in line with the additional efficiency of ammunition supply and the ability for carriers to get closer to the gun positions.
