In November CCXC Bde got its first rest for eight months, then it was back in the line in the Ypres Salient in December. In January 1918 58th Division was moved to the area of Villers-Bretonneux in Fifth Army. It was in the front line when the German spring offensive opened on 21 March, and over the next few days was forced back wit heavy casualties. When XXCX Bde was forced to withdraw, it could bring away only eight of its 24 guns, half of them howitzers from D Bty. In the 'Great Retreat' that followed the battery came into action 18 times. The brigade was then transferred to Amiens where it supported Australian and US troops as well as 58th Division in the Battle of Villers-Bretonneux. A sudden attack on 28 April saw D Bty's position overrun by German troop, but a counter-attack recaptured the guns.
