Another card from the archive. This is #MachineGunCorps ‘adjacent’ as the Machine Gun School was staffed by men of the Artists’ Rifles and School of Musketry at the time.

Head to Patreon for free access to read it.

From a donation at the end of 2023, we have now scanned and catalogued this amazing scrapbook of Captain Frederick Howard’s service in the Artists’ Rifles (28th Bn London Regiment) and then as an instructor at the Machine Gun School.
