The British Army's School of Musketry was established near Hythe in Kent in 1853. In 1909 it became the Small Arms School and in 1929, the Small Arms School Corps. Also in 1929, the Vickers machine gun emblem of the Machine Gun Corps was incorporated into the badge of the Small Arms School Corps. Relocated to Warminster in Wiltshire in 1969, the Corps retained responsibility for training British Army personnel in the use of small arms such as rifles and pistols, and support weapons such as machine guns.
