1st Battalion August 1914 : in Warley, London District. September 1914 : attached to 20th Brigade, 7th Division. 4 August 1915 : transferred to 3rd Guards Brigade, Guards Division.

Action : France & Flanders 

France & Flanders covers all the dates and corresponding locations which are outside the official battle nomenclature dates on the Western Front. Therefore the actions in which these men died could be considered 'normal' trench duty - the daily attrition losses which were an everyday fact of duty on the Western Front.
