This is what passes for intelligent comment on the Ross Rifle?

[Surpmil]

And yet the original, hand-written War Diary of the 48th Highlanders (15 Battalion CEF) states they were issued 'Enfield Rifles" in February 1915 shortly after arriving in France from England where they had been for months.

I've read their diary for February 1915 here I don't see any mention of Enfield or Ross rifles, only that rifles and equipment were inspected on February 20th at Caestres at 12 noon. Can you provide a link or image of the page?

wot abou' the P14?

Fair point, but of course the P14 was never issued for general service was it?
