Nineteen rounds from a 12-pounder landed on the left sub-section of 2nd Brigade's trenches at about 5:30 in the morning. More Imperial troops arrived at about the same time.
Another Turkish reconnaissance aeroplane flew over the area and dropped a bomb at about 6am.
More 11 inch shells fired from the Turks at about the same time as the plane flew past.
At 9:30 more shelling.
Further arrangements made for taking over Southern No.2 section as well as present section to allow 1st Brigade to rest and reform for assault of Lone Pine.
