Photo Analysis: Long Range Desert Group and .5-inch Vickers MG

Thanks to Patrons, here's their choice of photo for the next of our analyses. If you want your say for next month, join us at www.patreon.com/vickersmg and take part in the next poll.

This video shows a Chevrolet Truck of the Long Range Desert Group (LRDG) in North Africa, May 1942, firing the .5-inch Vickers machine gun from a mounting in the rear. These were re-purposed Mk V tank guns and gave the LRDG some automatic light anti-armour capability to go alongside their bolt-action Boys Anti-Tank rifles.

The source of the photos are the Imperial War Museum:
