HC Deb 24 June 1915 vol 72 cc1337-8
62. Sir A. MARKHAM

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he has any information that the Ross rifle supplied to the Canadian troops is unsatisfactory; and, if so, will he say what steps he proposes taking?

Mr. TENNANT

Certain difficulties have arisen in the use of this rifle; the matter is being investigated, and meanwhile some men of the division have been armed with Lee-Enfield rifles.
