Bren
LMG
The Bren Light Machine Gun was introduced in to the British
Army in 1937. The Bren revolutionised the British Army organization and
equipment from the organization that had been in place since the First World
War to what we know as the organization of the British Army in World War Two.
Equipment was designed so Bren Gun magazines could be carried, an Infantry
section always contained a Bren Group (1 gun) for local automatic support
fire and the introduction of the Bren meant that tactics could have light,
fast moving automatic fire movign just as fast as the men themselves could.
With the Bren's predecessor, the LEWIS, this could not be done as the weight
and dimensions of the Lewis meant it was not possible to carry forward an LMG
in an attack at speed. The Bren gun was used in many roles from Light support
in the Infantry section to a Medium MG role when used with the sustained fire
tripod that was issued with every gun. It was also used largely in the
Anti-Aircraft role and special items of equipment were issued with it for
this purpose such as 100-round drum magazines and tripod extension legs. The
Bren went into Front-line service as soon as the numbers were available. It
went to France in 1939 with the British Expeditionary Force in the Mk. I
version of the gun. It served in North Africa and Italy. It went into France
on D-Day in both Mk. I and Mk. II versions and for Operation "Market
Garden" it went in the form of a shortened Mk. III version for Airborne
troops. The Bren soldiered on post war as well in .303 British in Korea,
Malaya, Cyprus, Aden and many others. It was then converted to 7.62mm Nato
with the introduction of the L1A1 Self-Loading-Rifle and the FN MAG
General-Purpose-Machine-Gun and the Bren became the L4. It saw action in
Northern Ireland, the Falklands and the Gulf War. It is still in use with
second-line units and the Territorial Army today. A service history of over
60 years!!
