Summary
[edit]DescriptionFront trench, showing the Lewis gun ready to deal with Boche (4688598972).jpg |
English: In this photograph, a machine-gun crew are standing in a front-line trench with a Lewis gun. The outer edge of the trench, to the left, is sandbagged to head height. The Lewis gun is lying across the back of the trench, towards the photographer, so it is not in firing position. The Lewis gun was used as the main British Army light machine gun from 1915. The derogatory term for a German, 'Boche' or 'Bosch', originates from the French slang 'alboche', which was two words 'Allemand' (German) and 'caboche' (pate, head) put together. |
