Just a small selection of machine guns on display.
How many soldiers died at the hands of these guns?

Some look to be in good condition other look a little on the relic side.

Nice relic guns. For those who don't know what they are... top picture is a British Vickers Mk1, second picture is of a German Mg08, British Lewis gun, and French Hotchkiss. last picture shows a German Mg08/15. This last gun was introduced too late to have seen use in the 1916 battle of the Somme.
Cheers,
Steve
