I'm fond of the Pattern of 1914 series of rifles. The Model of 1917 was the main battle rifle of the US Army in WWI. Col. Hatcher thought it should have been retained. It saw little use in WW2 . The Filipino army got surplus ones as did the British. The Canadians bought 100,000 for use in Canada. The zombies sent to Alaska were likely armed with it. The Filipino army fought the Japanese. The British didn't have much 30-06 ammo for theirs , so it was used for the Home Guard.
