This MkII** Ross was completed in 1912. Shows issue to the 48th Highlanders in 05/14.
As the call to Arms was answered, in August the 48th had raised the 15th Battalion CEF, trained in Valcartier QC and left for overseas in October 1914. According to official government publications, they took the mkII as there was not enough MKIII Ross production.
The 15th CEF memorial webpage has many photographs of members of the 48th with the MkII Ross including some in the terrible trench combat.
