JAZ08 Highland Vickers Team

The Vickers team is in the act of refilling the condenser tin in order to cool the weapon down and stop it jamming. Hollywood usually show troops urinating over the jacket which does help a little but it was far more effective to urinate into the tin using the funnel provide. There were a lot of cases of the tin being filled in WW1 from the latrines in the front line trenches. These chaps are in action keeping the Afghan heads down on the North West Frontier and using the best method available to cool the weapon down.
