It was expected that the
First Division would attack early on the morning of October
1st, and Division Headquarters therefore issued orders, not
only for the relief but for an assault at dawn. The troops
were ordered to advance on the afternoon of September 30th,
so as to reach the vicinity of Cheppy toward dark.⁹
