"DA" Marked Ross rifles; Serial number listing from HMS Canada

[zezzy]

Anyone with pre-1916 rifle marked to the 16th Battalion might want to post or PM me the serial number as I have a list of about 100 rifle SNs with the names of the men they were issued to in 1914/5. Sometime in 1915 the order must have come down not to bother recording that information as it simply stops. The logical conclusion is that casualties were so heavy and as a result there were so many rifles changing hands it was impossible to keep up with it.

I have one ser#328/1915 EO CEF 16. Also a DA rifle
