On 2. 9th October the date of the attack was changed to 5th November. Later, it was again postponed to 9th November, and again to 1. November.

WWIBecause the attack had been planned to be launched earlier wire cutting using artillery and to 2 inch mortars had begun in late October.

Patrols reported that this was very successful. Details were kept on the extent of the damage and where the route had been clear. During the preparations before the attack a number of raiding parties and patrols were launched into the enemy trenches with the task of determining what units the attack would face.

This was particularly important as it will gave a clear indication of the extent and numbers on the enemy defenders. In Major Bewsher’s “The History of the 5. Highland Division” there is a very clear example of what this entails.“On 2. October both the 6th Black Watch and the 7th Gordon Highlanders of 1.

In the raid of the seventh Gordon Highlanders, Lance Sgt Morrison killed four Germans and disarmed 5. At this point some Morrison had expended all examination and bombs and was faced by two more Germans with fixed bayonets. Appreciating the situation, Private Louis Thompson rushed past sergeant Morrison and killed the first German with his entrenching tool. He then picked up the fallen Germans rifle and with it killed the second.

For this exploit both Simon Morrison and private Thompson were awarded the military medal.”As has already been stated, in the days before the attack the weather had been atrocious and the ground had become a sodden mass. The move forward to the start line during the night was difficult and those that arrived there first had a long wait as the rest move slowly into position. At 5: 4. 5 a. m., the time selected to begin the attack, a mine was exploded as the signal after which an intense bombardment of the German position began. There had been no preliminary bombardment which would have risked giving away the preparations for the attack. There was a thick fog on the morning and this helped with the concealment and delayed the response of the Germans. The progress behind the barrage was deliberate and slow.

The night was spent consolidating the position on the Green line and preparing to continue the attack the next morning. Remains of Beaumont Hamelshow info.
