 Training, Multi-National Formations, and Tactical Efficiency: The Canadian Motor Machine Gun Brigades in 1918
The Borden Machine Gun Battery, the Eaton Machine Gun Battery, and Boyle’s (Yukon) Mounted Detachment were formed separately from the CMMGB but were eventually absorbed by Lieutenant-Colonel Brutinel and became ‘C’, ‘D’ and ‘E’ batteries respectively.
Therefore the ‘Kaiserschlacht’[xi] of spring 1918 saw the brigade operate in a defensive-style infantry support role, and was not a test of the brigade’s capacity to adjust to the changed nature of warfare.

 Bren gun carrier; fast, furious and lots of help
The first Machine Gun Carrier introduced into British service was produced by Vickers in 1936 and became the prototype for the Machine Gun and Bren Carriers.
Designated the Carrier, Machine Gun, No.1, Mk I, it carried a crew of three, dispensing with the idea of carrying an independent machine gun team and replacing it with the idea that the vehicle and crew were the machine gun team, able to operate with or independent from the vehicle.
Designed as scout machines for the mechanised cavalry and light tank divisions, it had provision for carrying the No.11 wireless set and (apart from the pilot model) had high sided armour enclosure for the wireless operator's behind the driver.
