6 RIR move back to Anzac Cove, Gallipoli.

On the day following the 6th Battalion The Royal Irish Rifles' defeat by the Turks on the hill feature Chunuk Bair, during the Battle of Sari Bair, the Battalion was relieved. When it moved to a rest area in a gorge north of Bauchop's Hill, its strength was less than 300 all ranks. From the 11-16 August 1915, the Battalion remained in close support and suffered greatly from lack of water and a plague of flies.

On 16 August 1915, 6 RIR was ordered to march to Anzac Cove and work as a beach party unloading stores. Having received some reinforcements a few days earlier, the Battalion strength had now risen to 8 officers and 429 other ranks. Although on 19 August 1915, the Battalion would send 2 officers and 200 other ranks to reinforce the 8th Battalion Australian Infantry at Lone Pine, the remainder continued to labour in the discomfort of the summer weather until the end of September.
