The War Diary entry for the 23rd March 1918 records. GREEN LINE EAST OF TEMPLEUX LA FOSSE. At midnight 22nd/23rd March the Brigade moved forward from AIZECOURT LE HAUT to take its place in the GREEN LINE, east of GURLU WOOD (A1). The move was completed by 3.00am on the 23rd March. The enemy attacked along the whole GREEN LINE at 7.30am and broke through to the south of TEMPLEUX. The right flank of the Division was again left in the air, under heavy pressure the line fell back to the PERONNE – CAMBRAI ROAD west of GURLU WOOD, where the enemy was held in check for some considerable time by rifle fire. The continued advance of the enemy on PERONNE made a further withdrawal necessary and during the course of the morning the line swung back to the neighbourhood of BOUCHAVESNES (AMIENS L1). During the night of the 23rd/24th March the Battalion moved into a position north east of CLERY SUR SOMME (AMIENS K1), the whole Division being in the neighbourhood.
