Monday 21st June 1915


The Battalion was engaged in a major Brigade exercise which would see them spend the night in trenches which they had dug on Ludshott Common.  After the war, the author of the Battalion Memoir recalled that, “We found out later that these trenches differed a good deal from what we were to see in France and elsewhere”.


Pte. William Henry Yarnold was released from the Battalion to take up employment with Messrs. Clegg & Howgall Ltd, Steelworks in Keighley. He had been an original member of the Battalion having enlisted in September 1914, aged 43, while working as a labourer in Keighley, although he was originally from Nottingham. He had previously served 13 years with the Notts. & Derbys. Regiment.
