On the 16 July, I took part in a Spotlight Saturday event at the UK’s National Army Museum in London. Organised by the @vickersmg the event commemorated the 100th anniversary of the disbandment of the British Army’s Machine Gun Corps but also commemorated the legacy of the Vickers Machine Gun itself. In support of the event I gave a talk on how the Vickers was used in the indirect fire role.
