Ross rifles used by the Canadian Expeditionary Force in WW1 are marked with numerals indicating the battalion of that force. There was a 31st battalion which was from Alberta Canadaicon. I wouldn't have thought that LEC rifles would not have been issue at that time but anything is possible. Pure musing on my part, no facts to support this idea other than what I know about Ross markings.
