Not sure,but copied this from " The First Day on The Somme " by Martin Middlebrook, the author.

In Martin Middlebrook's book "The First Day On The Somme", he indicates that a German machine-gunner was found chained to his gun at Montauban, opposite to where the 7th Queen's & 8th East Surreys attacked.

There is a separate entry in the War Diary of the 8th York & Lancasters, positioned to the north of Ovillers La Boisselle, which states that two gunners were reportedly found dead chained to their gun in the front line. Was this the same incident reported along the line, or did it happen at least twice? I read in one Bristol newspaper from 1916 the thoughts of a wounded soldier who had heard about the find: 'Being chained to a gun would certainly help a doubtful man to make up his mind whether he would go or stay'

Having served as part of a machine gun group in Vietnam I think this may be a Furphy. Machine guns are a crew-served weapon, carried by the number 1 and extra ammo and stuff carried by the number 2. Being 'chained to a gun" is a meaningless statement because it is easily moved, unless of course they were referring to artillery guns.

The first world war German Maxim Gun had a 6 man crew, but 2 were observers, they are nothing like a modern machine gun, the british Vickers barrel without tripod could be carried by one big man on his shoulder.
