Free FreeJoin Richard Fisher and Sir Andrew Graham as they discuss the history of the Machine Gun Corps, and reflect on its impact and legacy, 100 years on from its disbandment.
The Machine Gun Corps (MGC) was formed in 1915 and saw deployment in all theatres of the First World War. Although in existence for only seven years, the Corps played a vital role in the Allied war effort and left a lasting legacy that is still embraced today.
To mark the centenary year of the disbandment of the MGC, Richard Fisher and Sir Andrew Graham will discuss the history of the Corps, its deployment, the specialist skill of gunnery and, finally, its legacy.
