CWGC gives me 1,634 war dead total searching on 'machine gun corps' which suggests many are listed under their original unit. Those who know something about the MGC (not me!) might know how cavalry and infantry divided their service numbers up. Good stuff. Men seriously wounded or sick would probably account for say 5 times that deaths figure (??). They would be transferred to Labour Corps or discharged. Then there were quite large numbers captured in the 1918 Spring Offensive. Would they have been removed from the SMEBE figures even though still MGC but not active? Still some way off 1000/month though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Black Posted 15 November , 2023 Share Posted 15 November , 2023 It’s good to see an updated graph. Lots of data has been submitted and I’m glad it’s been made presentable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
