Our latest infographic covers the Vickers machine gun sub-section of the First World War.

A sub-section had two Vickers machine gun detachments (each of one gun) and there were two sub-sections in a section, four sections in a company and four companies in a battalion (from 1918). That was a total of 64 guns in a battalion.

We have put together not only the structure of the detachments but the equipment they carried and the equipment carried in the limbered wagon. Please do remember that you can support our limbered wagon build project by going to https://vickersmg.blog/product/gofund-limber/ with whatever you can give. Then come along and see our progress at Bisley in October 2026.

This infographic will feature in a future publication of the Emma Gees Study Series focusing on the Vickers in the Machine Gun Corps from 1915-1918.
