On 8 October 1914 each SR battalion was ordered to use the surplus to form a service battalion of the 4th New Army ('K4'). Accordingly, the 7th (Extra Reserve) Bn at Falmouth formed the 16th (Service) Battalion of the Royal Fusiliers in October 1914. It trained for active service as part of 103rd Brigade in 34th Division. On 10 April 1915 the War Office decided to convert the K4 battalions into 2nd Reserve units, to provide drafts for the K1–K3 battalions in the same way that the SR was doing for the Regular battalions. The Royal Fusiliers battalion became

Having stabilised their front the battalion held on all day, but were ordered to begin withdrawing from the salient at 01.00 on 22 March, destroying the heavy equipment before leaving. The battalion withdrew along a duckboard track under artillery fire; about 11.00 the British artillery opened up and stopped the Germans from following up further. The division now held the old British front line. However, the retirement was resumed at 20.00 that evening.

The Germans steadily shelled the salient with mustard gas between 10 and 16 March, possibly hoping that the British would withdraw from it anyway; by the time it was relieved 7th RF had about 250 men evacuated to hospital, but it had to go back into the line on 20/21 March. The battalion received a draft of over 100 reinforcements at 01.00 on 21 March: after a three-day journey in lorries they were sent straight up into the line in the dark, never having been in a trench before.

On 26 October the division tried to advance up the valley of the Lekkerboterbeek, but the mud was knee-deep and the advance proceeded at a pace of less than a yard per minute, falling far behind the creeping barrage, and with rifles clogged with mud. The men fell back to their starting position if they could. On 30 October they tried again, this time on higher ground above the Lekkerboterbeek, but the mud was still knee-deep, the men lost the barrage, and were caught by the enemy artillery, casualties being particularly heavy in 190th Bde. All attempts to get forward failed and men lay out in the mud all day and the next night under fire from an uncaptured

Thereafter confusion set in, with troops attempting to move onto the next objectives through fog, shellholes and waterlogged communication trenches. By 06.30 the results were patchy: some parties were in the German support and reserve lines, in other places the front line had not been secured. 190th Brigade was now ordered forward, but 7th RF was held up by fire in the German front line. Disorganised attempts to get forward to the first or even second objectives went on all day, at the end of which a mixed force of 63rd (RN) Division was just short of the second objective in front of

Medical Officer and Regimental Aid Post were among those captured. A counter-attack by the brigade reserve recovered most of the ground at noon. A second attack next day made no headway. Casualties were heavy on both sides, with 7th RF losing 9 officers and 244 ORs; the battalion's 'trench strength' was now only 11 officers and 167 ORs. The battalion was temporarily amalgamated with the 1st Artists Rifles.
1161:. The two attacking brigades were held up and in the renewed attack next day 7th RF advanced with the 4th Bedfords. The barrage at Zero (11.00) fell short, causing casualties among the troops assembled for the attack, which failed. In the afternoon another attack was delivered, and the troops penetrated into Thilloy. But the battalion was now seriously weakened, with particularly heavy losses among the officers. The leaderless survivors withdrew and the battalion was relieved after what the regimental history admits was 'a disastrous day'. 190th Brigade did not take part in the division's next few operations.

Next morning the barrage was renewed at 06.20, but only about 80 men of 7th RF were in position to take part in the attack, which captured Beaucourt. A protective field gun barrage deterred German counter-attacks, and 63rd (RN) Division was relieved on the morning of 15 November. 7th Royal Fusiliers had gone into action with 22 officers and 629 ORs; they lost 13 officers and 331 ORs.
