The Machine Gun Corps (MGC) was a corps of the British Army, formed in October 1915 in response to the need for more effective use of machine guns on the Western Front in the First World War. The Heavy Branch of the MGC was the first to use tanks in combat and was subsequently turned into the Tank Corps, later called the Royal Tank Regiment. The MGC remained in existence after the war until it was disbanded in 1922.

  • Das Machine Gun Corps (MGC) war ein Corps (administratives Regiment einer Waffengattung) der British Army, das von 1915 bis 1922 existierte. Es wurde in verspäteter Anerkennung der wichtigen Rolle des Maschinengewehrs im Grabenkrieg des Ersten Weltkriegs und des Bedarfs entsprechend trainierter Einheiten aufgestellt und umfasste mehrere spezialisierte Zweige. Aus einem der letzteren, dem Heavy Branch MGC, ging 1917 das Tank Corps hervor, das heute als Royal Tank Regiment fortbesteht. (de)
