They had also advanced out of sight of the 156th Brigade (52nd Division) on their left, and although their exposed left flank on the Wadi Mukaddeme was partly covered by the advance of two machine gun sections, the left section of the 10th Battalion was "hopelessly exposed."
De var også rykket frem, så de ikke længere kunne ses af 156. brigade til venstre for dem, og selv om deres udsatte venstre flanke ved Wadi Mukaddeme var delvis dækket af fremrykningen af to maskingeværsektioner, var den venstre del af 10. bataljon "håbløst udsat".
