    CEF troop w/ Ross rifles

    Posted on rossrifle.com, too, but these images are part of the collection of images at the Canadianicon Great War Project website: http://www.canadiangreatwarproject.com and show CEF troops w/ Ross rifles. I checked with the administrator of that site and he's fine with the images being posted[thank you]. There are a number of other photos featuring Ross Rifles there besides these ones, but these show the rifles most clearly. The photo cutlines are also from the Canadian Great War Project site.

    Col. Helmer, father of Alexis Helmer (inspiration for "In Flanders Fields), instructing 14 Bn soldiers, Valcartier, 1914
