Just to add some period interest for this historic MG:

Very rare image of a camouflaged MG with the MGC. Period evidence of painted British kit is hard to find.

Any story with the first pic? ...Looks like one hell of a battle took place there.

unknown to me. It is a German made photo and postcard - quite often (sadly) the Imperial soldiers at the time took photos of battle casualties and some were turned into normal postcards to send home! I will post some more of these type of images in the correct threads AIF.

This is a very well known image.

The 1st photo was taken by the Germans, and I am sure it was taken during Operation Micheal as I know someone that has a few taken around the same time of knocked out British Tanks
The "Truck" looks similar to the Canadian and British "Motor Machine Gun" units.
I have seen an original Canadian one, however I wish we had a photo of the front of the truck.
The numbering on the photo also looks the same as the ones my friend has, and they have both German and English writing on the backs, one states they were taken from a German
