It was not long before the Battalion received what is usually termed its 'baptism of fire. Things were waking up along the front in anticipation of the Franco-British attack on the Somme.

After that its entire course lay between the 60th and 61st degrees of longitude, approaching the latter most closely about latitude 8 degrees 15 minutes.
