(a) To seize Mudawra,[9] with the primary object of destroying the enemy’s valuable water supply at that place.
[9] The spelling of this report is not consistent with the spelling I have used: but it does not matter. There is no accurate English spelling of Arabic names.
(b) To destroy the main railway bridge and tunnel at Kissela, 5 miles south of Amman,
or
should circumstances arise rendering (b) impracticable—
(c) The demolition of the railway bridge immediately north of Jurf Ed Derwish, and the destruction of the enemy’s supply dumps and wells at Jurf Station.
(2) The following instructions and attached march programme are based on the assumption that objectives (a) and (b) will be carried out.
Should it prove necessary, as the second phase of the operations, to substitute (c) for (b), which will be decided solely at the discretion of the O.C., Imperial Camel Corps, these instructions will be amended, and a revised plan prepared by the officer responsible for its execution.
(3) MARCHES.
The column will march, subject to such modifications as may be imposed by circumstances at present unforeseen, in accordance with the march programme and time table attached marked ‘A.’
