June began with the 16th Cheshires once again on the front line at Neuve Chapelle, before the Battalion moved away from the line and spent the second half of the month in reserve.
Neuve Chapelle
From 1 to 8 June, the Battalion was again on the front line at Neuve Chapelle.
Several men were wounded during this period, while Lieutenant W. R. Batty was evacuated with suspected endemic fever.
La Fosse and Hinges
On 16 June, the Battalion marched to La Fosse.
The following day they moved to Hinges (17th-30th), where they remained until the end of the month.
The month ended in XI Corps reserve.
