By moving the two infantry divisions to the Anzac Mounted Division's right and left flanks, Lawrence may have been ordering a general dismounted attack, as this deployment reverses the normal placement of mounted troops on the flanks of infantrymen.
Ved at flytte de to infanteridivisioner til den beredne Anzac divisions højre og venstre flanker, kan Lawrence have givet ordre til et generelt afsiddet angreb, da denne fremgangsmåde afviger fra den normale placering af beredne tropper på flankerne af infanteriet.
