Machine Gunners in the desert
The development of the rapidly firing machine gun had been
gathering pace throughout the latter part of the nineteenth
century. By the time of the Great War it had reached a point of
deadly and devastating efficiency. Now, specially trained units of
men within all armies were trained to bring this lethal weapon to
bear on the enemy. This book concerns a group of such men-within
the British Army-as it and they fought the Army of the Ottoman
Turkish empire in the Middle East Campaign. This was a more mobile
war than the gunners of the Western Front experienced, that had its
own challenges including disease, blistering heat, flies and
difficult terrain. This is an intimate story of a small tightly
knit unit operating in an interesting sideshow of the greater
conflict.
