Lewis Machine Gun - YouTube Video

This video was taken in March '09 at one of our local machine gun shoots. My gun collector friend is firing my WWI BSA Lewis Gun, built in 1915. Chambered in .303 British caliber, it is a C&R factory original and considered by many experts to be the first real light machine gun invented. Even at almost 100 years old this classic still runs like a Swiss watch and is a pure joy to shoot. [CEF Study Group - Oct 2010]

Journal of Military and Strategic Studies, Volume 10, Issue 3.

This speech in Calgary, part of the 2008 Ross Ellis Memorial Lecture in Military and Strategic Studies, examines the decisions taken by Prime Minister Sir Robert Laird Borden and Lieutenant-General Sir Arthur Currie in the last years of the Great War and then raise some questions about foreign and defence policy in the era of Prime Minister Harper and General Hillier. There are a number of references to Sir General Arthur Currie with background information. [CEF Study Group - Oct 2010]
