The Battalion was formed from the Machine Gun Sections of 32 Brigade, 11th (Northern) Division in March 1916 in Egypt, during their defence of the Canal east of Suez.

Alfred died on 7 June 1917, the opening day of the battle of Messines, and was buried in St Hilaire Cemetery, Frevent in the Nord Pas de Calais, west of Arras (ref. F. 16). He was born in 1899 in Wheatley and was baptised at St. Mary's Church on 14 May, the eldest of five sons of William Munt, labourer also born in Wheatley, in 1870, and Agnes Alice Webb, born in the registration district of Headington in 1874.
