The Lewis Machine Gun Campaign in the Wheatlands

Major GPW Meredith was the commander of the seventh heavy battery and he was in charge of this event. He did all of this without informing the military board. Colonel Hoad of the first cavalry division in Sydney had also requested 100 emus skins with the hope of using feathers for his light horsemen's hat. Sergeant McMurray and Gunnar O'Halleren were armed with two Lewis machine guns and 10,000 rounds of ammunition. Their task force was also joined by a Fox movie tone cinematographer to record the forthcoming campaign.
