At Zero hour, 4.20a.m., our barrage opened and the Battalion formed up prepatory to moving off and final instructions were given to Company Commanders. At 5.20 a.m., Zero plus 60 minutes, the Brigade moved from their position of assembly, the 28th Battalion being the left leading Battalion. Owing to there being no enemy barrage, companies moved in file and advanced in this formation in rear of the 3rd Division, crossing the River Luc at Damuin and proceeded to the assembly position for the afternoon advance on the rising ground west of Demuin. The advance during the morning had been carried out without opposition and the Battalion suffered only a few slight casualties from shells. Orders were received at 11.30 a.m. that the second phase of the attack would commence at 12.10p.m.
