On July 25th 1918 the 27th division was slowly rotated into the front line in relief of the British 6th Division. On August 31st 1918, operations of the Ypres-Lys Offensive began in an attempt to remove the Germans from the Dickebusch/Scherpenberg area. On September 3rd 1918 the Germans withdrew from the area, marking the successful completion of the Ypres-Lys Offensive. From September 24th to October 21st 1918 the 108th participated with the rest of the 27th Division in the successful Somme Offensive, which was an attempt to pierce the German's Hindenburg defensive line. The 108th was involved in some of the heaviest fighting along with the 107th and sustained some of the highest casualties of the Somme offensive, though its movements were instrumental in breaking the Hindenburg Line at Quennemont Ferme. On October 21st 1918 the entire division was relieved. By March 19th 1919 the division had returned in full to the states where it was quickly mustered out.
During its service in World War I, the 108th sustained 1,763 casualties including 1,432 wounded, 256 killed, and 75 who later died of their wounds.
