I knew they were American circa WW1, but nothing beyond that.

Those uniforms are smart though!

What is the nickname given by commonwealth forces to the machine gun in this picture?

In the SADF we called that a LMG Light Machine Gun, 12.5kgs dead (no tripod,no ammo), is not fucken light especially if your on the hop. Also called the MAG gun, fabulous weapon, great equalizer when that RPD opens up to warm your heart
