On 14th October, 1915, 17th London (Poplar & Stepney Rifles) of 141 Brigade, 47th Division, moved into the front line trenches just north of the Chalk Pit at Loos. The Battle of Loos had by this time come to end and the normal routines and dangers of trench warfare were once again in evidence. The battalion diary recorded that on Saturday 16th October, 1915 there was some occasional shelling but that overall it was a fairly quiet day. Not quiet enough however for Rifleman Rodwell who was one of the two men from 17th London killed that day.
