6.—You are Brigadier General Greene commanding a Detachment of the 18th Division, and on June 11, 1965, you are at the headquarters of your division at St. Luke’s Church. You receive reliable messages to the effect that the enemy is in your front about two and a half miles away. You determine to attack the left of the enemy and to envelop that flank. You want the cavalry to cover your own left flank, and you want the cavalry also to send out patrols to keep a lookout on the right. First of all, though, you want the battalion of artillery to go south via the Newman farm and take a position north of the farm. You want the artillery to begin firing as soon as it arrives in the position designated. You have heard from other patrols coming in that the enemy is taking up a position on a hill in your front about the distance away you had previously estimated. You want the first infantry to form the reserve and you want it to follow in rear of the left flank of the third infantry. The third infantry will take up and follow over the same route as the artillery. After crossing Plum Creek the whole regiment will move to attack the enemy. The regiment will keep its left near the road which runs past Piper and Whitehall. The battalion of artillery when it is moving to its new position should move off the road whenever it is necessary to screen itself from hostile view. The second infantry will attack along the road it is now on. It should not, however, advance beyond the Whitehall School House until the artillery opens fire. It ought then to help along the attack in support of the third infantry. You sign your message at half past six in the morning. You want your first ambulance company to follow the reserve. When the company gets to Plum Creek, however, it should stop there and wait until further orders. You hear that your cavalry out in front has defeated the enemy’s cavalry and that the enemy’s cavalry is fleeing eastward. You wish to incorporate this fact in your order. You will have some one always ready to receive messages at the cross-roads at the Newman farm if you are not there yourself. You send a copy of this your sixth field order of the campaign by Lieutenant Cost to Major Call. You read the order at half past six to your commanders of infantry regiments, artillery battalion, signal company, and staff officers. You desire the Signal Company to establish a line which will connect you with Bonnyville, and you should have a line to your support commander, who is the commanding officer of the second infantry.
