Machine Gun Units

Introduction Each infantry battalion in France had machine gun sections and, in the winter of 1915 - 1916, they formed brigade machine gun companies. A further reorganization took place in March 1918 when machine gun battalions were created. Tank battalions of the Canadian Expeditionary Force were included in the Canadian Machine Gun Corps.
