9 April - 29 April 1918. As the first phase of the great German campaign of 1918 lost momentum and failed in its objective to split the British and French armies, subsidiary attacks were shift the balance of the attack and to seek opportunities to exploit other sectors. On the Lys the Germans initially enjoyed spectacular success against a Portuguese Division but the gap was soon plugged and the advance halted.

Frederick was a Lieutenant in the Royal Field Artillery when he was initiated into Freemasonry in 1917. He took no further degrees which is unsurprising considering the war still had another year-and-a-half to run its course. The annotation in the contribution register shows that, after 5 months as a mason, he was "Killed in action April 1918."
