Naik Shahamad Khan, manning a Vickers-Maxim gun
Photograph of Naik Shahamad Khan, Machine Gunner, manning a Vickers-Maxim. 303 machine gun, 89th Punjabis. Associated with World War One, Mesopotamia (1914-1918). The Vickers-Maxim was the predecessor of the better-known Mark 1. 303 Vickers Machine Gun, which was introduced in late 1912. Although heavy, it was reliable and was used in many colonial campaigns during the pre-war era. Although many saw service in East Africa, Mesopotamia and the Middle East during the First World War, the Vickers Machine Gun, basically an improved version of the Vickers-Maxim gun, eventually replaced it in most war theatres. Date: 1916
