During 1915, Martinus remained on the Western Front. His regiment fought during the [[Battle of Neuve Chapelle]] in March and the [[Battle of Festubert]] later in the year. The repeated British attacks and artillery fire caused heavy losses in the division, and Martinus spent much of the year alternating between front-line service and the reorganization of depleted company positions. | During 1915, Martinus remained on the Western Front.
