By March 1944 the old 75mm mobile guns were withdrawn, but on two occasions that month 216 Bty engaged hostile surface vessels using radar for range finding. Despite this E-boat activity the coastal artillery branch continued to shrink, a number of officers and other ranks being transferred in from disbanded units, and on 1 April three further batteries (212, 379 and 393) were regimented with 523rd Coast Rgt. Later that month, 18, 79 and 83 CODs were disbanded and a few of their men posted to the regiment, though the overall strength of the regiment remained roughly constant.

481:(WO) issued instructions to separate those men who had signed up for Home Service only, and form these into reserve units. On 31 August, the formation of a reserve or 2nd Line unit was authorised for each 1st Line unit where 60 per cent or more of the men had volunteered for Overseas Service. The titles of these 2nd Line units would be the same as the original, but distinguished by a '2/' prefix. In this way duplicate companies and batteries were created, releasing the 1st Line units to be sent overseas. Recruitment for the Cornwall RGA went well: by January 1915 Maj Oats had recruited two additional batteries. A new 1/8th Company later served in the 773: 930: 530: 628: 1560: 973:, supporting the Third Ypres Offensive. This made little progress until Second Army took over its direction for the battles from the Menin Road to Passchendaele, when it bogged down in the mud. On 14 December the battery was joined by a section from 183rd Siege Bty, bringing it up to a strength of six howitzers with 69th HAG. By now HAG allocations were becoming more fixed, and on 1 February 1918 the 69th was converted into a permanent RGA brigade. The battery stayed with 69th Bde until the Armistice a year later. 1168: 1023: 1401: 74: 91: 869:, where 46th Siege Bty was emplaced, and the battery was ordered to move back. On 28 March a new phase of the German offensive was launched against Arras itself, but 46th Siege Bty back in its new position escaped the shelling. As the infantry battle moved closer, 19th Bde was ordered to pull back, and 46th Siege Bty gave up its positions to another battery, parking its 9.2-inch howitzers behind Arras.
