From 6 to 9 September, the Battalion took part in the general advance north-eastwards. It crossed the River Marne at Nogent l’Artaud on 9 September, and went thence to Bazoches-sur-Vesles (12 September) before crossing the River Aisne, the Aisne Canal and the Aisne et Oise Canal (13 September). By 7 a.m. on 14 September 1914, the Battalion was on the hill between Vendresse-Beaulne and Troyon, fighting to gain control of Chivy-Lès-Étouvelles and the heights above Vendresse-Beaulne and Cerny as part of the Battle of the Aisne. Inigo-Jones was killed in action here, at Vendresse-Troyon, aged 22, one of the Battalion’s 120 casualties killed, wounded or missing. He has no known grave. His name is on the huge memorial that stands next to the bridge at La Ferté-sous-Jouarre (c.40 miles east of Paris) and commemorates the 3,888 British soldiers killed in 1914 at Mons, at Le Cateau-Cambrésis, on the Marne and on the Aisne.
