lines and posts during the attack. Field Artillery
barrages will also be arranged.

6- Action of 38th Battalion. Policy to be followed. Keep as
many men as possible under cover. At zero hour, which
will be notified later, open up with burst of Lewis Gun
and rifle fire from those men on duty with Lewis
Gun from all along our front line for, roughly, five
minutes. After this, maintain our front line with
a few Lewis gun posts, all others getting under cover,
before the enemy artillery fire for retaliation opens.
4 Lewis Gun posts should be sufficient to main-
tain our front line. All troops in rear of Front Line
will, of course, keep under cover from zero hour.
