The following morning the enemy tried to rush the bombing posts of No 2 Company but were beaten off. 37th Division came under determined attack on 5 April, the preliminary bombardment from 05.30 practically obliterating the trench positions of Nos 1 and 3 Companies. At 08.45 strong attacks were made on Nos 2 and 3 Companies, whose men were pressed back to their company HQs before a counter-attack restored the position. Neighbouring battalions did not do so well and 13th RF's left was uncovered, so the order was given to retire. The withdrawal of Nos 2 and 3 Companies was covered by the support platoon of No 1 Company, but the withdrawal uncovered the flank of No 1 Company in turn, and a desperate fight developed round Company HQ, which was partially blown in. By 14.00 the line was reorganised with parties from several battalions and the brigade trench mortar battery, and the Germans did not attempt to press home their attack. Lieutenant-Col H.A. Smith was awarded the

The attack was to begin on 9 April after four days of bombardment, with the assaulting formations taking a succession of objectives, the Black, Blue and Brown lines. The fresh 37th Division waiting in the Arras suburbs would then pass through to capture the final (Green Line) objective, just beyond Monchy, but it was unclear whether this could be tackled on the first day. The assault went in at 05.30 and 13th RF reached Blangy at 11.30 without casualties. At 12.00 111th and 112th Bdes were ordered up to the Black Line, 13th RF being told at 13.10 to move forward and take up positions in 'Battery Valley' along the line of 'Fred's Wood', about 200 yards (180 m) north of the railway and east of Blangy. At about 18.45 the battalion crossed the Blue Line to move into position to begin the attack on Monchy. It now began to take casualties, and found that the
547:) was already through the gap and holding 'Orange Hill', so it led the attack. 111th Brigade followed and launched its assault about 12.00, 13th RF crossing the northern slope of Orange Hill in a snowstorm and then swinging half-left towards the outlying woods west of Monchy. The brigade made ground rapidly despite the lack of field artillery support (although the heavy guns were bombarding Monchy). However, the machine gun fire from the village and from the north side of the river brought 10th and 13th RF to a halt about 500 yards (460 m) short of Monchy. An erroneous report that they were in Monchy led to the British cavalry being brought up to exploit a breakthrough, but they achieved nothing. By 19.40 13th RF only had three officers left beside the commanding officer and
574:. The advance went to plan until the German second line trench was reached. 63rd Brigade on the right had edged too far left, and 13th RF on the left was a little slow coming forward, so the 10th RF was open to machine gun fire from the flanks. Once the confusion was sorted out, a patrol reported that the second objective, 'Cuba Trench', was unoccupied. The remnant of 10th RF occupied the trench by 09.30, and was followed in by 13th RF and 13th KRRC. Patrols made contact with the Germans along a road about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) ahead. After this success, the Germans bombarded Cuba Trench heavily, but 111th Bde consolidated it over the following days. At 04.25 on the morning of 28 April 13th RF and 13th RB carried out the next assault, on the 'Whip Crossroads' south-east of

About an hour and a half later 13th and 10th RF made a final attempt on Monchy, this time with four tanks in support. Progress was slow, but 13th RF established itself north of the village and held the position all day, while the remnant of 10th RF stormed into the village itself about 11.00. The official historian described the capture of Monchy-le-Preux as 'one of the outstanding feats of the whole battle'. Although the remnant of 111th Bde was now weak, with very few officers, it was assisted in consolidating the village by 63rd Bde and the cavalry before it was relieved at 23.00 that night.
771:. The battalion had to fight its way to its starting line, because Bel Aise Farm and part of the Beaurevoir Line had still not been cleared, and it lost its creeping barrage. However, it then advanced so rapidly that it was within half a mile of its objective before the barrage had suppressed the enemy machine guns on the high ground south of the farm. Nonetheless, Nos 2 and 3 Companies pushed straight on and began to consolidate on their final position by 07.15. However, enemy fire compelled them to withdraw from the south and east sides of the farm until 1/1st Herts passed through to take the next objective. 37th Division's advance now became a pursuit of the beaten enemy to the

The left company was reduced to 40 men and had to be withdrawn to the cover of an orchard, and No 1 Company pulled back to consolidate a line in front of the village by 18.00. Next day 13th RF attempted to advance again, but was held up near De Beart Farm; the battalion was relieved at 21.00. It had advanced nearly 5,000 yards (4,600 m), capturing 120 prisoners and numerous guns and trench mortars, but it had lost another 108 men, and was now reduced to 11 officers and 269 ORs.

Beneath the rectangle was a horizontal bar: red for A Company, dark blue for B, purple for C and green for D. As the senior battalion of 112th Bde from
February 1918 13th RF would have adopted a red disc in place of the blue rectangle. From late Summer 1917 or early 1918 the 'gold horseshoe' was included in this scheme, worn above the other flashes on both sleeves.

Finding no enemy in front, No 3 Company pushed forward and captured Bethencourt, throwing out a line of outposts to the east overlooking the Selle. The battalion also liberated Caudry, to the delight of some 500 French inhabitants. In three days the battalion had advanced a considerable distance, captured 200 prisoners and 20 machine guns, at a cost of 112 casualties.

least 400 prisoners were taken. The regimental historian described it as 'one of the greatest days experienced by the battalion'. Its work was not yet done: its right flank was still in the air and patrols went 1,000 yards (910 m) down the line without encountering any other troops. Nonetheless, 13th RF crossed the cutting and resumed its advance. Over 1000 prisoners passed through its collecting station that day, while its own casualties over the period 21–27 August were only about 200.

Platoons of Nos 2 and 4 Companies went up as reinforcements and the line was held intact. 13th RF lost 7 officers and 140 ORs in this unnamed action.

On 18 and 19 November the rest of 111th Bde attempted to get forward to a group of trenches known as the 'Triangle', but was driven back by rifle fire. It was relieved from Muck Trench that night and returned to Puchevillers.

However, there was rifle and machine gun fire from a blockhouse and 'Lewis House' on the right, which had escaped the bombardment. 13th KRRC could do nothing against Lewis House, and as 13th RF swung forward it came more and more under its fire and had to dig in short of the objective.
