On 13th October, 1915, 9th Royal Fusiliers of 36 Brigade, 12th Division moved forward to the reserve line opposite the Quarries on the Loos battlefield as 36 Brigade relieved 37 Brigade. The battalions of 37 Brigade had just been involved in the last action of the Battle of Loos and this sector was still under heavy German artillery fire as 9th Royal Fusiliers were about to find out. They remained in these forward positions, with the casualty list increasing daily, until 21st October when they were relieved and moved back to billets at Fouquereuil.
