10. The infantry of the 53rd Division will be available as Army Reserve, and will be at the disposal of the General Commanding.
11. Special instructions regarding signal communications will be issued later. In general terms the arrangements will be as follows:—
There is a submarine cable between Imbros and Anzac, and a cable will be laid as soon as practicable from Imbros to Suvla Bay. A submarine cable and a land cable will also be laid between Anzac and Suvla Bay as soon as circumstances permit, probably before dawn. Pending the completion of this work inter-communication between Anzac and Suvla Bay will be carried out by lamp, and, subject to Naval approval, between Suvla Bay and Imbros by wireless telegraphy.
Two[18] military pack W.T. stations and one R.N. Base W.T. station will be provided at Suvla Bay, four naval ratings will be attached to each station as visual signalling personnel. One of these military pack W.T. stations will be disembarked with the second brigade to land, and will act as a base station pending the arrival of the R.N. Base wireless station. The second military pack W.T. station will be disembarked with the third brigade to land; it will be placed on a flank and used mainly for fire control under the B.G.R.A.
A wagon wireless station at G.H.Q., Imbros, will be in communication with both these pack W.T. stations.
One officer and 23 other ranks, with two pack animals from the Brigade Signal Section, will be landed with each Infantry Brigade.
These parties will lay their cable by hand and establish telephone and vibrator communication from the beach forward. No vehicles will be landed in the first instance, all necessary stores being man-handled.
Three officers, 74 other ranks, 28 animals and five vehicles will be landed with Divisional Headquarters.
The advance parties will release the brigade sections from the beach and be prepared to lay cable lines by hand.
