On 30 April the second raid across the Jordan began, their objective to capture Es Salt.
This time a much larger force was involved under command of the Desert Mounted Corps.
The regiment and brigade were part of the force assigned to attack Shunet Nimrin.
Once again they advanced through Turkish artillery fire, and confronted by Turkish strong points in the foothills, were unable to make any progress.
That night they moved back across the Jordan, having suffered three dead and eleven wounded.

On 1 May the brigade became the corps reserve and at noon were ordered to assist the 179th (2/4th London) Brigade in their attack on El Haud.
The regiment crossed the bridge and started forward, through artillery fire, first walking then increasing their pace to a canter, until they reached cover.
But then they were ordered back and had to return to Umm Es Shert, so they headed back through the shellfire until they reached the village.
They remained there overnight until ordered forward to support the 4th Light Horse Brigade defending the road from the Ed Damieh ford to Es Salt, which was the only route back for the rest of the force attacking Es Salt.
For the next day the regiment held a defensive position along the road, and then moved, dismounted, into the mountains to help the Australian Mounted Division extricate themselves.
On 3 May, once the Australians had moved past them, the regiment walked back down the track behind them, shelled by Turkish artillery.
They then moved into the lines held by the infantry until the other forces had reached safety, before forming the rearguard back to Ghoraniyeh, arriving at 16:00 on 5 May.
