Editing Machine Gun Corps (section)

==Post war==
At the end of hostilities, the MGC was re-organised in a smaller form as many of its soldiers returned to civilian life. However, the Corps continued to see active service notably in the [[Russian Civil War]]; the [[Third Anglo-Afghan War]], and the ongoing conflict in the [[North-West Frontier Province (1901–1955)|Northwest Frontier of India]].{{cn|date=February 2021}}

The MGC also served prominently in the British force that [[Rheinland|occupied parts of Germany]] in the period between the [[Armistice of 11 November 1918|Armistice of 1918]] and the [[Treaty of Versailles|Versailles Peace Treaty of 1919]] as its equipment and training made it possible for a relatively small garrison to control a large population but by 1920 the headquarters in Belton Park was closed and the [[War Office]] began to dispose of the many buildings.<ref>[http://homepages.which.net/~rex/bourne/dyke.htm Buildings] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050830064830/http://homepages.which.net/~rex/bourne/dyke.htm |date=2005-08-30 }}</ref>
