WW1 42nd Issue

Thanks for the great photos of those knives. The first one is interesting. It looks to me, and I'm just learning about this, that the first one in line was modified with horn. No? They don't look like they would be practical for combat. More an everyday knife.

Also I wasn't really thinking about reorganization of units either. As a guy who knows a lot about the US military I should have thought that. Learn something new everyday. I'm going to have to read up on this or hang up my kilt!

Also, from what I can gather from the thread is that sgian dubh wasn't issue to the men in the trenches, but carried by officers anyway.
