Marine M1917 MG Platoon
(US814)
The M1917 heavy machine-guns are organised into weapons companies as part of the Marine infantry battalion. From there they can be allo-cated to individual companies to be deployed as seen fit. On the attack the M1917 was used either to cover the flanks of the Marines in the rifle platoons or to suppress Japanese positions.
Where they really shone was on defence as the guns’ water cooling system and heavy tripod enabled them to lay down the tremendous amount of fire required to halt Japanese Banzai attacks, particularly in the battles on Guadalcanal and Tarawa.
