An hour later the Desert Mounted Corps ordered the Anzac Mounted Division (less two brigades) to move from Esani to Asluj "tonight", and at dusk the Australian Mounted Division began their night march (following the Anzac Mounted Division) to Esani.
En time senere beordrede det beredne Ørkenkorps den beredne Anzac division (udne to brigader) til at rykke fra Esani til Asluj "i aften", og i skumringen begyndte den australske beredne division deres natlige march (bag den beredne Anzac division) til Esani.
