uwukah line of works.
The objective of XXIst Corps will be the defences of Gaza
from Umbrella Hill inclusive to the sea about Sheikh Hasan.

Instructions in regard to the following have been issued
separate to all corps:

Amount of corps artillery allotted.

Amount of ammunition put on corps charge prior to operations.

Amount of ammunition per gun that will be delivered daily
at respective railheads and the day of commencement.

Amount of transport allotted for forward supply from
railheads.

The general average for one day's firing has been calculated
on the following basis:

Field and mountain guns and
mountain howitzers ...150 rounds per gun.
4.5-inch howitzers....120 rounds per gun.
60-pounders and 6-inch howitzers. 90 rounds per gun.
8-inch howitzers and 6-inch Mark VII. 60 rounds per gun.

This average expenditure will only be possible in the
XXIst Corps up to Zx16 day and for the Desert Mounted
Corps and XXth Corps to Zx13. After these dates if the
average has been expended the daily average will have to
drop to the basis of 100 rounds per 18-pounder per day and
other natures in proportion.

AIRCRAFT, ARMY WING.--Strategical reconnaissance including
the reconnaissance of areas beyond the tactical zone
and in which the enemy's main reserves are located, also
distant photography and aerial offensive, will be carried out
by an Army squadron under instructions issued direct from
G.H.Q. Protection from hostile aircraft will be the main
duty of the Army fighting squadron. A bombing squadron
will be held in readiness for any aerial offensive which the
situation may render desirable.

CORPS SQUADRONS.--Two Corps squadrons will undertake
artillery co-operation, contact patrols, and tactical reconnaissance
for the Corps to which they are attached. In the
case of the Desert Mounted Corps one flight from the Corps
squadron attached to XXth Corps will be responsible for
the above work. Photography of trench areas will normally
be carried out daily by the Army Wing.
