Here is a pic of arifle bolt from our WW1 site, it is from a"Infamous Ross Rifle" supposedly a replacement for the far superior "Lee Enfield .303" WW1 Canadian soldiers made statements like "It would be better to throw this rifle at the Germans" than try to shoot it.
I wonder if the soldier who lost this was put on a charge?...........HH..........Johnnn

Nice find! Do you think there may be other parts of that rifle (or others) in the same area?

  How do you know it's from a Ross?  Didn't the Canadians have M1 's or other rifles?

I looked at some pics of the Ross rifle and it definitely is from that gun, I only know of two rifles used during WW1 and the other was the Lee Enfield....HH....Johnnn
