Canadian-made, WWI-era Ross rifles, owned by collector Bob McCormick, are shown at his home in Haldimand, Ont., on Thursday, August 7, 2014. When soldiers in the throes of battle discard their rifles and pluck a different weapon from the hands of dead allies, there's clearly a serious problem. So it was with the Ross rifle, the weapon that Canadian soldiers took with them to the start of the First World War a century ago. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Aaron Lynett
