| Entry | Following message was received from G.O.C. 1st Division: 1. It is possible that the Division will be required to go into the line again for one of two purposes:- (a) for joining in the pursuit should the operations about to be undertaken prove entirely successful. (b) for relieving another Division of the IIIrd Corps and consolidating and holding part of the defensive flank. 2. Units must therefore be prepared for one of these alternatives and must realise that the result of this battle depends on the relative staying powers of the two sides. The enemy are believed to be nearly at an end of their resources and that a supreme effort made by us now is likely to be crowned with great success. The Major General is therefore confident that should the Army Commander call upon the 1st Division once again for this effort the Division will rise to the occasion as it has often done before. |
