The Bren Light Machinegun

This reprint is a combination of three pamphlets on this weapon: two British Army Small Arms training manuals (1939 and 1942) and a short but very clear pamphlet sold at the beginning of the Second World War with simple but effective instructions on how to use the gun. The drawings in the text and the colour plates show how the gun operated, and how to strip and assemble it. The weapon itself survived in various forms from the 1930s to the 1960s in British Army service, and the 7.62mm version is still in use today.
