Canada. Canadian Army. Borden's Motor Machine Gun Battery : Borden's Motor Machine Gun Battery was organized in December 1914 as Borden's Armoured Battery under General Order 86 of 1 July 1915. The battery was commanded by Major E.J. Holland VC. Initially designated as Borden's Machine Gun Battery, it was later known as Borden's Motor Machine Gun Battery.

The battery arrived in France on 15 September 1915, becoming part of the 2nd Canadian Division.
