The British army adopted the Lewis gun from 1915 until the 1930s when it was replaced by the BREN gun, however: In the crisis following the Fall of France, where a large part of the British Army’s equipment had been lost up to and at Dunkirk, stocks of Lewis guns were hurriedly pressed back into service. 58,983 Lewis guns were taken from stores, repaired, refitted and issued by the British during the course of the war. In addition to their reserve weapon role in the UK, they also saw front-line use with the Dutch, British, Australian, and New Zealand forces in the early years of the Pacific campaign against the Japanese. Therefore The British should have the Lewis gun in Enlisted.

100% agree.
As has been commented before what we need is the following:
M1918BAR moved to BR II (keep A1 and A2 at BR III).
Lewis gun added to tech tree at BR III.
That way we have both American AND British options at both high and low rank and an alternative to top mounted mags/BARs.
Make it happen Darkflow!
