Specific equipment of the Vickers machine gunner

[Richard Fisher]

I thought that a recent video I made might interest some forum members. It shows the mask, cape and gloves used by Vickers machine gunners during the Great War, including a little bit of information and history on the use of the 1914 Pattern equipment and Webley revolver by machine gunners.

Please do have a click around and look at some of the other videos as well. The one most relevant to the Forum's audience will be the firing of the gun from the Sangster Auxiliary Mounting.

 

Comments and feedback always welcome.
