Alexander, between 23 and 30 March 1918, had to assume command of the 4th Guards Brigade (United Kingdom), during the British retreat from the German Army (German Empire)s Spring Offensive. He once again commanded the 2nd Battalion, Irish Guards at Hazebrouck in April 1918, where it took such severe casualties that it saw no further action.
