The Débâcle at Hooge Crater (30/31 July 1915): 890 British Casualties killed, wounded and missing.

The Battle of Loos (25–28 September and 13–18 October 1915): 50,000 British casualties, 25,000 German casualties.

The Battle involved three subsidiary actions:

• Piètre;
• Bois Grenier;
• the second action at Bellewaerde.

“The execrable murder of Miss Cavell at Brussels is perhaps the least excusable of all the German outrages, Quousque Domine?”
