Machine guns and Skye

[JS569]

Neil Oliver is very good and as ever anything he presents always comes over well. I did not know of the Bedford Company and I have lived in or near Bedford for most of my life. Something that is worth researching.

Many thanks for posting the link.

Absolutely, he is an engaging presenter with a passion and interest for historical topics. I found the levels of MG's produced by the british in 1914 compared to 1918 very interesting

This link was forwarded to me, it has some great pictures and a bit on why they came to Bedford.

I have postcards sent from Bedford by my uncle Alick who was stationed there during the first world war, he was in the Seaforths with his brother. Alick was wounded in Death Valley on the Somme in 1916 being fed onto the fight for High Wood, he died the next day at a dressing station in Fricourt. His brother survived the war.
