60th Division, made up entirely of 2nd line territorial battalions from London, went to France in June, 1916 where they remained until they were sent to Salonika at the end of the year. During the six months spent on the Western Front they were employed in holding the front line around Arras and were one of the few divisions in France to avoid the Battle of the Somme.

On 8th July the  2/13th London battalion of 179 Brigade was out of the line at Maison Blanche when Charles Way was killed by a trench mortar.
