One sub-section will move in rear of each supporting Company. They will occupy the outpost line, one gun being placed in each of the four strong points that will be constructed, upon receiving orders from the O.C. Battalion.
5. Objectives of Waves and Commanders.
The first wave will capture the line of trenches D 20 a 33 90—D 14 a 10 20 and all buildings north-west of KANSAS CROSS within the Battalion boundary and on the south-west side of the ZONNEBEKE—WINNIPEG road. A special party will be told off to bomb forward along the trench leading towards the Green Line from D 14 c 30 70. This line will be under command of O.C. D Company.
The second wave will capture the Green Line; this line will be under the command of O.C. A Company.
Third wave will pass through first and second waves, and will capture BLACK DOTTED LINE and will be under command of O.C. C Company.
Fourth wave will collect Nos. 4, 5, and 6 mopping-up parties and will help in the consolidation of the Green Line. This wave will be prepared to assist the third wave in the capture of its objectives.
6. Consolidation.
The consolidation, which will commence at once, will be carried out in depth and will take the form of three lines of strong points, namely, those held by Nos. 1, 2, and 3 waves.
These strong points will ultimately be joined up to form trenches.
One Company of the 1/8th Liverpool Regiment will be available to assist in digging.
