From period photos we can often see the drum hangar, but images of the trommel in use in the assault are rare. Not a surprise really :)
Nonetheless it was a standard issue item to the MG08/15 team, and also used by the inter war MG08, as per the inter-war thread.

Now that picture is very interesting! I have one of those side drums, but have no mount for it to affix to my capture 08/15. Can you take some pictures of the mounting bracket from different angles? I have a feeling I might have something like that in a parts box...........

Mark
