"By July 1918 the BAR had begun to arrive in France, and the first unit to receive them was the US Army's 79th Infantry Division, which took them into action for the first time on 13 September 1918. The weapon was personally demonstrated against the enemy by 2LT Val Allen Browning, the inventor's son." In some accounts I've read, Browning's son was the first to carry the BAR in combat.
