Benjamin Ainsworth was in the 11th. Batt. R.W.F.
This is what the LLT says:
11th (Service) Battalion
Formed at Warwick in September 1914 as part of K3 and attached as Army Troops to 24th Division.
April 1915 : joined 112th Brigade, 37th Division.
Landed in France 30 July 1915.
Disbanded in France on 7 February 1918.

His MIC states he went overseas on 31/7/15 which is consistent with the date the 11th. Batt. went to France.
So no service in Gallipoli.
