The locality in which the guns will be mounted in the captured lines should be settled before the advance.
B.—Some to Cover the Infantry Advance.
The possibility of using guns for this purpose and their positions if used depends on:—
1. The lie of the ground.
2. The position of your own and the enemy’s trenches.
When their role of covering fire is completed they should automatically come again under the control of the B.M.G.O., who will give them further orders.
C.—Some Detailed in Pairs to Engage the Enemy’s Machine Guns when these are Located.
These may possibly go forward with the attacking Infantry. This will depend on the nature of the ground, action, etc.
D.—Some in Reserve under the Brigade Commander.
These should be retained as a real reserve and not pushed too early into the fight.
