D Company, under Captain H. A. Davies, was detailed as the advance guard to the march forward. Proceeding along the line of the road a few shots were fired at 3.20 a.m. A Company, under Captain Bowen- Jones, was sent forward to support Captain Davies, while patrols ascertained the strength of the enemy. The battalion halted on the road.
It was soon discovered that the advance guard was in touch with the trenches across the road, and that the enemy held them in strength, so Captain Bowen- Jones was ordered to move on to the high ground on the right, but to keep well south of the trenches reported by aeroplane, and shown on the map as running parallel to the road.
