On 14 June 1916 orders arrived for 60th (2/2nd L) Division to move to the Western Front, and the artillery units made the crossing from Southampton to Le Havre between 22 and 26 June, with CCCII Bde under the command of Lt-Col H.M. Drake.
The division concentrated in the area behind Arras by 29 June.
It relieved 51st (Highland) Division in the line on 14 July, with the artillery moving into position over the next three nights.
The line held was facing the same strong German positions along Vimy Ridge that 47th (2nd L) Division had faced, and there was constant mine warfare and trench raiding.
The artillery was mostly engaged in suppressing troublesome German trench mortars (Minenwerfers) by firing short concentrated bombardments on specific sectors of the enemy line.
Some trench raids were preceded by local wire-cutting bombardments, or by a barrage, others were 'stealth' raids.

On 30–31 August the divisional artillery underwent the same reorganisation into six-gun batteries that was going on throughout the BEF.
In CCCII Bde this meant A and half of B Bty joined from CCC Bde.
However, orders arrived on 1 November for the division to transfer to the Macedonian front (Salonika), where the four-gun establishment was still in force, and the batteries reverted to their original organisation; the BAC was also reformed.
Once the brigade was in Macedonia, the six-gun battery establishment was introduced there as well, and this time C Bty was broken up to bring A and B Btys up to six guns each.
