It is possible that the scenes denote part of the dirks history and suggest it is possible a ghillies dress dirk for a large Highland estate. It is recorded that ater Queen Victoria (and later monarchs) started the fashion to supply dress wear to estate staff some of the larger estates followed suit, this was often incarnated in official tweed and tartans for workers but in some cases went further to Highland Dress accessories.

A Great War Western Front, Second Battle of Ypres, Casualty Group of Three to Private J.Mc Fetridge, 16th (Canadian Scottish) Battalion, CEF, Canadian Infantry, 1914 - 15 Star (29580 Pte J. McFitridge. 16/ Can:Inf:), British War and Victory Medals (29580 Pte. J. Mc Fetridge. 16-Can. Inf.) Private J. Mc Fetridge, of the 16th Battalion, Canadian Infantry, son of William McFetridge of 27 Park Street, Motherwell, Scotland, was killed in action at the Second Battle of Ypres on the 23rd of April 1915, he has no known grave, but is remembered with honour at the Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial. The 16th Battalion Canadian Expeditionary Force. The first Volunteer Overseas Company mustered at Camp Valcartier, Quebec where they formed Number 4 Company of the 16th (Canadian Scottish) Battalion, CEF. The other Companies of the 16th came from drafts from three other Militia highland regiments. The 16th Battalion was assigned to the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the 1st Canadian Division and left Quebec for England with the first contingent on the 30th of September 1914. The matter of the adoption of a single tartan for the Battalion had been a contentious issue that had remained unresolved during the 16th’s training at Camp Valcartier. The matter was again addressed while the unit was encamped on Salisbury Plain. The officers met on the 21st of December 1914 to vote on the proposal that a khaki kilt be adopted, after much heated discussion the proposal was carried with twenty-one votes for and seven against. The khaki kilts would not reach the 16th until June 1915 and were received with such despair and contempt by the Battalion that the entire issue of khaki kilts was withdrawn. On the 12th of February HMTS Maiden set sail from Avonmouth dock, arriving at Saint-Nazaire two days later. From the 24th of February to the 1st of March the Battalion was attached to the 19th British Brigade for instruction in the trenches at the front. Its introduction to the front complete, the Battalion marched to Bac St. Maur on the 2nd of February, fully trained and ready for battle. On the evening of the 22nd of April the Germans launched the first poison gas attack of the war on the Western front, the Second Battle of Ypres had begun. The 1st Canadian Division was hastily pulled from the reserve and ordered to seal the line, the Canadians became heavily engaged at Gravenstafel Ridge. The 16th Battalion received orders to counter-attack Kitchener’s Wood and along with the 10th advanced steadily towards their objective. After covering half the distance from the start line to the edge of the wood they ran into a long strong hedge interlaced with wire, no reconnaissance had been done prior to the attack and the men were forced to break through the obstacle with rifle butts, bringing down fire from alerted German machine-gunners. After breaking through, both Battalions charged the last 200 yards into the wood, driving out the enemy before them.,The cost of this action proved costly, the Canadians suffered 75 percent casualties, the 16th having lost 3 officers and 87 other ranks. Although they had cleared the wood, they were forced to retire, more attacks that night resulted in disastrous casualties, but also brought time to close the gap. 16th Battalion War Diary 23rd April 1915.

Rapid fire from enemy in evening but no attack. Good telephone connection with Brigade H.Q. and with Capt Rae in trenches.
