Lewis Gun Instructor: Now this is the 1914 type. When we get a gun, and we may any day now, we'll probably get the 1917 type with improvements. Used it myself in 1918. The main thing is, keep it clean. Mind you, don't drop the magazines and remember the eight stoppages. A bit o' mud on one of the feed pulls, you'll 'ave trouble. A bent magazine, you've got more trouble. Shan't be a minute old man. But it's a good ole gun. And in my 'umble opinion, the perfect answer to attacks from the air. So if hostile aircraft try to interfere with you, all you've got to do is touch 'em up a bit with the old Lewis. Got it?
