See H.W. McBride's A RIFLEMAN WENT TO WAR for some interesting information on use of machine guns by the Canadians. McBride was an American who voluteered with the Canadian Army.

The is something distinctly Darwinian about defensive machineguns, no mans land and foot charges.

One of my top interests is reading military history. What a wonderful diversion for a Saturday morning. Thank you.

That was a cool post, My Grandfather was gassed at Ypres, and my Great Uncle was with the Newfoundland Regiment, wounded at Blois. As I look into these things there was many things that they didn’t tell me as we sat around BSing about war after I and my cousins got back from Nam.
