Chaps - desperately need your help/expertise please?
Could you either post on this site or send me some images I can use for a (power point) presentation?

I need images please of:
1. German dug out, untouched - to show how good the construction was.
2. German dug out but as machine gun emplacement.
3. MG08 in action.
4. MG08/15 in use.
5. MG08 crew undergoing training or drills.
6. Destroyed or damaged MG crew/shell crater or trench.

Huge thanks for any help.

Mark

Evening Mark,

Very loosely this may fit #6 - A captured german trench with 08/15 ready for use against the former owners...

Gents great images and thanks for taking the trouble to post them. Although these are all destined for my MG presentation I am doing for servicemen, I think we have started off a good thread idea!!. Great images. Thanks.

No gun here,but he was obviously a team member,look at the pile of empties! He is also wearing a gas mask,looks like.I will be going over to my parents house later this week,there is a box containing thousands of WWI pictures that I will be sorting and scanning.Not sure who took them,from British side.Been in the family for years though.I will post the good ones. ---bil
