Canada. Canadian Army. Yukon Motor Machine Gun Battery : The Yukon Motor Machine Gun Battery was organized in August 1914 as Boyle's Yukon Mounted Machine Gun Detachment and was composed of 50 men. The detachment was raised in Dawson and equipped by J.W. Boyle of the Canadian Klondike Mining Company. Its distinctive uniform included Stetsons, khaki-coloured mackinaw coats, breeches, and long boots. The detachment was originally commanded by Captain Knot, later by Captain H.F.V. Meurling.
