Firing Practice: British Army Officers instructing members of the U.S. Army’s 306th Machine Gun Battalion, 77th division, in use of the Vickers Machine Gun. Due to severe shortages of US machineguns and US caliber .30-06 ammunition, the American Expeditionary Force was almost exclusively armed with British and French weapons.
