I photographed these Browning M1917 .30-caliber machine gun examples at Dubois, Newport News, Olympia, Quantico, Fort Lee, the US Army Museum and Pensacola.

This was in favor of the Browning M1919 machine gun during WWII.
The one in Olympia had the large round re-filler cannister to resupply the rectangular water boxes.
