The 2nd Bn Seaforth Highlanders joined BEF to France and reached a position south east of Mons on 25August 1914. That night it was ordered to withdraw after coming under heavy German shelling. The battalion marched 134 miles in the next 11 days and on 5 September reached Chevry and spent three weeks fighting for various positions on the Marne. The battalion fought various battles, captured the village of Meteren two miles west of Bailleul, joined the India Brigade and were involved in the Corps attack at Neuve Chapelle, an attack on Aubers Ridge and the second battle of Ypres.
