ARTILLERY SUPPORT

18th DLI Attack (Contd)

17th May 1917

 

Owing to the state of the ground the barrage time table has been altered, and an intermediate lift of 50 yards has been interpolated between "A" and "B" barrage.

This intermediate barrage has been named "AA".

The lifts will now read:-

Barrage "A"

0 plus 2 to 0 plus 3

Barrage "AA"

0 plus 3 to 0 plus 4

Barrage "B"

Barrage "C"

0 plus 5 to 0 plus 7

"Barrage "D"

0 plus 7 to 0 plus 15

Barrage "E"

An amended Map 1 is attached.
