CEF Supporting Arms

 Here are some supporting troops for my late WWI CEF - an 18-pdr, a Vickers MMG and some more signallers.  

By the later stages of WWI, most front line infantry were issued one or more Lewis guns per platoon.  With Lewis guns now issued to front line troops, the Vickers guns were mostly gathered into dedicated Machine Gun Companies.  This gun team has my attempt at the insignia of the 3rd Company of the 1st Canadian Machine Gun Battalion.  I assembled this gun out of pieces that were in my lead mountain. The front two legs of the tripod were missing, so I fabricated replacements from plastic rod.  Unlike the MMG team I prepared for the Germans, these are both fixed to the base.  

There is also an 18-pdr for the late war CEF.  I already have 5 early war 18-pdrs plus one more with winter kit - now the late war troops have their own.

For this gun team, only one gunner is fixed to the model.

 The rest of the crew are based individually for casualty removal or if a different number of crew members are required.

And to finish up here are some signallers (with the white over blue arm band), including one on a motorcycle, plus a trench raider and a couple of red-tabbed staff officers.
