Just before reaching the third objective, orders were

received from the Corps to continue the advance to the first

day’s objective as soon as the Division was ready.¹³ This

objective was the enemy’s partially constructed positions

marked by the towns of La Marche and Nonsard. For the

First Division, the line was prolonged to the Bois de Gargantua.
