Entrenched at Jemappes on the south bank of the Mons-Conde Canal on 23 August, his battalion held off enemy attacks until 3pm, suffering 52 casualties (wounded or killed) before withdrawing via Flenu to the northern edge of Frameries. The battalion war diary describes how the Germans then attacked once more, opening fire from the coal dumps south of Frameries. Having had no time to entrench, a further 2 officers were killed and 100 other ranks killed or wounded. The 1st Royal Scots Fusiliers saw further heavy fighting at the Marne where 600 prisoners were taken and also on the Aisne in September and La Bassée and 1st Ypres in October. Private Foreman died of wounds at Base Hospital, Armstrong College at Durham University (now Newcastle University) on 27 October 1914. The Coroner’s Certificate stated that his injuries were received at the seat of war (i.e. at the front line).
