For the last two days of February 1915, the 4th Royal Fusiliers battalion of 9 Brigade, 3rd Division were in support trenches at Rosendale Chateau on the outskirts of Ypres. On the evening of 1st March, 1915 they moved into the front line just to the south of Ypres where they stayed for 2 days and nights. The battalion diary reports that it was a quiet tour but there were still casualties, presumably from either snipers or shell fire, including Albert Bishop on 1st March.
