By 01.30 the CO judged that the battalion had reached 'Woodcock' and began to dig in – not easy in the rocky ground. Communications with Brigade HQ and the artillery had broken down, so the battalion was on its own. The armour began to move up at dawn, but was not in place before the enemy suddenly attacked and overran 4th Royal Sussex. The battalion's casualties were 47 killed and wounded and 342 missing, mainly prisoners. (During the final part of the battle, 'Operation Supercharge', on 2 November, the 5th (Cinque Ports) Bn, Royal Sussex, of 133rd Bde put in a successful attack on 'Snipe' as the Axis defences began to crumble.) After the battle 133rd Bde was left behind to collect prisoners while Eighth Army pursued the beaten enemy westwards. 1427:, and had progressed over a mile by 06.00, when a halt was made on the Green Line. But when the battalion resumed the attack, the morning fog had lifted and it was stopped in the wood by machine gun fire. Communication problems meant that supporting French artillery fire could not be called down, but the wood was stormed with the bayonet. The battalion had lost 4 officers and 42 ORs killed and died of wounds, 4 officers and 125 ORs wounded, and 29 ORs missing. The attack was renewed on 1 August, 4th Royal Sussex once again in the lead, though now weak in numbers and obliged to put in three companies to complete the first line. Nevertheless, the attack launched in fog and smoke at 04.49 had achieved its objectives by 06.00 as the Germans retired in disorder. The battalion lost another 41 ORs killed, wounded and missing. After the battle, the division entrained to return to the British front. 1291:, 4th Royal Sussex supporting 2/4th Queen's, which made the attack. The day was hot, and the troops suffered greatly from thirst as they laboured over the rough ground while the enemy held the high ground and the water supplies. After sunset a patrol of 4th Royal Sussex got round the enemy and approached the wells before returning. Next morning the battalion withdrew a little to allow the artillery to bombard the Turkish positions, then attacked with B and D Companies forming the firing line, supported by overhead fire from artillery and machine guns. 4th Royal Sussex captured the high ground but was unable to advance further because of enfilading machine gun fire. Finally some food and water were got up to the troops. Two days later (6 November) the battalion advanced again behind a 1308: 1676: 1913:, a strong position already held by the divisional artillery and support troops. It arrived at 03.00 on 29 May and relieved some engineers and transport troops holding the line. The position was shelled and attacked by low-flying aircraft in the morning, then at 10.30 on 29 May 4th Sussex was ordered to withdraw towards Dunkirk for evacuation. A and C Company became detached, and on arrival at the beaches C Company was kept by 44th (HC) Divisional HQ for guard duties.

It maintained its position through the night, but on 22 May the Germans penetrated into a wood between 4th and 5th Royal Sussex; Lt-Col Whistler collected stragglers retreating through the battalion's positions and formed them into platoons to extend the line. There was no breakthrough: it was the deep penetration further east that forced the BEF to pull back to the 'Canal Line'. 133rd Brigade withdrew to

But events had not gone so well elsewhere, and 53rd (W) Division was ordered to pull back. It was then ordered to reoccupy the ridge, then finally withdrawn again. By 28 March it was back on its starting position behind Wadi Ghazzee. 4th Royal Sussex had lost four officers and 24 ORs killed, 11 officers and 154 ORs wounded, and 59 ORs missing.

The battalion made a small advance against weak opposition on 11 March, but a more serious attack that afternoon was cancelled, and 4th Royal Sussex returned to bivouacs on the Mount of Olives. It was back in the line on 19 March, driving off a Turkish attack on 22 March, and continued to take turns through April and May, usually holding three defended localities. 1351:

From 20 January to the end of February the battalion was alternately working on road repairs and holding the line, occasionally taking another small piece of territory without serious opposition. On 8 March 1918, 53rd (W) Division was ordered to
