18th March Captain H.J. Hammond was wounded by a 'blind' enemy shell and died at Stavros on the 23rd. The weather improved. 10th June the Battalion relieved Lovat's Scouts, with several Greek officers and NCO's attached, as the Greek army was going to take over the sector.

On the night of the 1st September the Glosters and the 10th Hants. were to attack the Roche Noir Salient. At 5.36pm the battalion advanced and captured the enemy first line before the Bulgars realized an attack was starting.

The 2nd Glosters did not take part, on the 20th they came under shell fire for the last time in the War. The Bulgars were broken and in full retreat. On the 22nd the Battalion marched to Alcah Mah, then to Pardovika. By now the 3 Battalions of the 82nd Brigade were so weak that they were amalgamated into one composite battalion, called the 82nd Brigade Regiment.
At 12 noon on the 30th September the Bulgars surrendered.
The Glosters crossed the Bulgarian border into Strumitza, then to Petric and up through the Kresna Pass. In October they were at Dupnitza.
