(_c_) Communication Trench Sec.-Lieut. E. V. Blakey and 12 Party. other ranks. (_d_) Dugout Clearing Party. Sec.-Lieut. A. Butler and 15 other ranks. (Sub-divided into two parties under the officer and Sergt. F. Johnson respectively.) (_e_) Parapet Party. Capt. J. G. Mowat and 14 other ranks. (_f_) Bangalore Torpedo Sec.-Lieut. W. L.

After four minutes it would gradually open out to form a box barrage round the objective. Meanwhile, the enemy front line on both flanks, and all communication trenches and ground in the vicinity, were to be swept by artillery, trench-mortar, machine and Lewis gun fire. 3. The Bangalore Torpedo Party was to advance, immediately under the barrage, and blow a gap in the wire at point C. The other parties were to follow, in order as above, pass through the gap, and enter the enemy line. 4. Parties (_a_) and (_b_) were to move along the trench towards the right and left respectively, approach as near to the barrage as possible, and cover the flanks of the operation. Party (_c_) was to move down the enemy communication trench from point C, and establish a block in it. Thus protected, party (_d_) was to secure identification and do as much damage to the enemy trenches as possible. 5. Capt. J. G. Mowat, with party (_e_), was to remain on the parapet. Signallers were to run a telephone wire across No Man’s Land so that he would be in direct communication with Battalion H.Q. When he considered that nothing further could be done, he was to give the recall signal and supervise the withdrawal. 6. The assembly was to be covered by fighting patrols, sent out by the 5th Battalion Duke of Wellington’s Regt., then holding the line.
