The Lewis Gun was the quintessential Light Machine Gun of the Herefordshire VBCW, especially deadly in the hands of spirited ladies, most notably the Pontrilas Women's Institute.
In THIS CLIP, a modern day Hereford VBCW lady re-enactor demonstrates the power of the Lewis MG. The clip is only slight disfigured by (1). the first 30 seconds being taken up by the loading of the instantly identifiable circular Lewis magazine (yawn!); and (2). the bearded American "crashing the party" towards the end. It is unclear whether his re-enactment interests lie with the Benedict Arnold Legion or the George Washington Battalion, both of whom are known to have used the Lewis Gun extensively within Herefordshire.
