Charles Ernest Hartnoll served in Egypt and Palestine from April 1916. The 1/10th London Regiment lost 47 all ranks killed, with a further seven officers and 134 men wounded at the Second Battle of Gaza, when the Battalion was on the left of the advance against trenches along the Beersheba Road. Remaining with 162nd Brigade in November, the Battalion's objectives were Fred Trench and Belah Trench near the coast to the south-west of Gaza. Despite No 2 Company 'losing all officers and N.C.O.s and 80% of the men', the Battalion captured both trenches.
