Although the 22nd Battalion was not part of the forward waves in the opening attacks of the 100 Days Offensive on 8th August 1918, during the subsequent pursuit of the German Army to the Hindenburg Line eighty medals and awards were won by men from the battalion. The most notable events during this closing phase of the Great War were the ill-fated attack at Herleville, support at the great 2nd Division victory at Mont St. Quentin and the breaching of the Hindenburg Line defences at Beaurevoir in what was one of the last actions of the AIF during the war.
