1) wonder what caliber that cane is?
2) note that all have leather slings in the photo.
3) since all purchased their own equipment they might have purchased ammo from Savage at the time the musket was ordered. It appears that about 3/4 were shipped in Dec., 1914 with a second order shipping in Feb., 1915. The second order has the highest Rack numbers which would indicate later new members to the unit.
4) Savage rifle ammo sales:
1912, 1,535,160 cartridges
1913, 1,521,120
1914, 2,231,052
1915, 4,388,260
Savage .303 #1 had a full metal case bullet.
Musket price would have been around $25 (guess).
1000 rounds of #1 was $38 so how any rounds would they have been required to purchase?
