One subsection of the 4th Machine Gun Squadron was attached to each regiment, although Lieutenant Colonel Murray Bourchier (commander of the 4th Light Horse Regiment which fought in the trenches and redoubt) said "The Hotchkiss guns were useless, the fast pace affording no time to get them into action".
En subsektion af den 4. maskingeværeskadron blev tilknyttet hvert regiment, selv om oberstløjtnant Murray Bourchier (chef for 4. lette beredne regiment som kæmpede i skyttegravene og skanserne) sagde at "Hotchkiss maskingeværer var ubrugelige, det hurtige tempo gav ikke tid til at stille dem op".
