The Vickers Machine Gun in the Far East

On the eve of Victory over Japan day (VJ Day) - 15 August - we're releasing this video about how the Vickers machine gun was used in the Far East, with information on the different countries, the units, the organisation, the equipment, transport and some of the doctrine. We can only scratch the surface but in preparing it, there are a few spin-offs to be prepared over the next few months.

Many of the photos were from the Imperial War Museum - www.iwm.org.uk - or the Australian War Memorial - www.awm.gov.au.
