Pre-WW1 SMLE No.1

[Patrick Chadwick]

I guess a lot of different scenarios could be possible though, given the times.

Rewording my query: is there any other possibility for COR as a unit/regimental abbreviation on a pre-1918 SMLE, other then Connaught Rangers?

The most likely answer would be that the 'C' is a worn/poorly stamped 'G', which would fit the 3rd battalion of the Gordon Highlanders to a tee. They spent the war in Aberdeen training replacement drafts.

I agree - I cannot find anything else that is plausible.
