The Bren LMG was developed from the ZB26, a Czech LMG designed at Brno, by the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield. The name was an amalgamation of BRno and ENfield.

Production began in 1937 at Enfield RSAF and it was accepted into service in 1938
when production also commenced at Inglis in Canada and Lithgow in Australia from
1940. Daimler and a corporation of manufacturs called Monotype also produced
them. Others were made at the Small Arms Factory in India
The Bren became the centre of all section tactics during WW2, and had it's own
transport in the form of the Universal (Bren) Carrier. It remained the standard section
weapon long after the war and soldiered on into the 1980's rechambered and
barrelled for 7.62 ammunition.

In the interests of ease of production the design altered many times during the guns
service, in both large and small modifications,

The Marks of Bren basically comprised the Mk1, Mk1m, MkII, Mk3 (introduced 1944
for jungle fighting) and the Mk4 also introduced in 1944. Postwar saw the Mk2/1 and
the L4 7.62mm version.

If I say John Inglis, the first two things that probably come to mind for a gunnie are
High Powers and Bren guns. Inglis was a Canadian company that made a huge
proportion of the Bren guns used during WWII, as well as other munitions.
At its peak, Inglis employed 17,800 workers.
