On 16 April, patrols went forward during the morning and found the area between the old and new front lines to be empty, the Germans still apparently in ignorance of the retirement; one patrol captured a German officer scouting for observation posts who did not know where the British were. Only in the late afternoon did German troops begin to close up to the new line and the British troops in the Battle Zone easily repulsed the German infantry, the 4th Army diary recorded that patrols discovered the withdrawal at 4;40 a.m. that afternoon. Next day, the Belgian Army defeated an attack from Houthulst Forest (The Battle of Merckem) against the 10th and 3rd Belgian divisions from Langemarck to Lake Blankaart by the 58th, 2nd Naval and the 6th Bavarian divisions, with help from the II Corps artillery. The Germans captured Kippe but were forced out by counter-attacks and the line was restored by nightfall. On the afternoon of 27 April, the south end of the outpost line was driven in when Voormezeele was captured, re-captured and then partly captured by the Germans; another outpost line was set up north-east of the village.

Battle of Bailleul (13–15 April) Bailleul バイユール
From 13–15 April, the Germans drove forward in the centre, taking Bailleul, 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) west of Armentières, despite increasing British resistance. Plumer assessed the heavy losses of Second Army and the defeat of his southern flank and ordered his northern flank to withdraw from Passchendaele to Ypres and the Yser Canal; the Belgian Army to the north conformed.

First Battle of Kemmel (17–19 April)
The Kemmelberg is a height commanding the area between Armentières and Ypres. On 17–19 April, the Fourth Army attacked and was repulsed by the British.

Battle of Béthune (18 April) Béthune ベテューヌ
On 18 April, the Sixth Army attacked south from the breakthrough area toward Béthune but was repulsed.

Second Battle of Kemmel (25–26 April)
French marshal, Foch, had recently assumed supreme command of the Allied forces and on 14 April agreed to send French reserves to the Lys sector. A French division relieved the British defenders of the Kemmelberg.
From 25–26 April, the Fourth Army made a sudden attack on the Kemmelberg with three divisions and captured it. This success gained some ground but it made no progress toward a new break in the Allied line.

Battle of the Scherpenberg (29 April)
On 29 April, a final German attack captured the Scherpenberg, a hill to the north-west of the Kemmelberg.

⇒4月16日、午前中にパトロール隊が前方へ行くと旧戦線と新しい戦線の間の領域が空になっていることが分かったが、ドイツ軍はまだ撤退を知らない様子だった。パトロール隊の1人が、英国軍のいるところを知らずに哨戒陣地を偵察していたドイツ軍将校を捕縛した。ドイツ軍の歩兵隊は、午後遅くになってようやく新しい戦線と英国軍隊に詰め寄り始めたが、戦闘地帯の英国軍隊はこのドイツ軍の歩兵隊を簡単に撃退した。第4方面軍の日誌は、パトロール隊は、その日の午後4時40分ごろ（彼らの）撤退を発見した、と記録した。
