Sent to the front line trenches at Twelve Tree Copse on 4 June 1915, the Battalion succeeded in capturing trenches ‘H11’ and ‘H12’ via a series of platoon rushes over open ground; casualties though were extremely high, most notably during attempts to clear Turkish reinforcements massing in communication trench ‘H14’.
