Famous WW2 Quote
"All that silly talk about the advance of science and such leaves me cold. Give me peace and a retarded science."Thomas Dodd, late 1945

The photo that states:
'Lewis machine gun crew of the British Eastern Command, date unknown; note ammunition carrier dog 'Mark''
Is not a Lewis gun but a Bren gun. However the magazine the one soldier is holding is a Lewis gun mag which will not fit the Bren.
