APPENDIX IV

TURKISH ORDERS FOR ADVANCE ON ROMANI.

The following is a translation of Turkish orders, found on prisoners
captured near Katia in July, 1916:

MILITARY.

_GENERAL ORDERS--Infantry and Machine-Guns._

1. I expect every officer, of whatever grade, to give an example of
courage to his subordinates. I expect the rank and file to show the
superiority of Turks to British troops, as their comrades have done at
Gallipoli and in Irak.

2. Men are to make all possible use of entrenching tools and sandbags
during attack and defence.

3. Since a continuous supply of S.A.A. cannot be effected, great economy
is to be observed in its expenditure. Consequently both in attack and
defence fire must be opened only at short ranges.

4. Flanking detachments must exercise the utmost vigilance against flank
attacks. Owing to the enemy's great strength in Cavalry, great vigilance
is imperative. On this account unsupported wings must dig in as deeply
as possible.

5. The effect of the enemy's fire on our firing line must be
communicated to the neighbouring Artillery and M.G. Officers, who are
ordered to support our firing line.

If the firing line is not so supported, the effect of the enemy's fire
is to be communicated to the O.C. Infantry for transmission to the
Artillery and M.G. Companies, so that the effect of the enemy's fire may
be countered by Artillery or M.G. assistance to our troops.

6. Infantry must be provided with pistols, firing flares, and red
signalling flags. Our artillery will thus be better enabled to lengthen
their ranges.

7. Our own positions must be indicated by triangular red cloths in
wooden frames, which, however, must not be visible to the enemy.

8. Owing to the close nature of the country and the frequency of mist
(haze) in the morning, constant communication must be kept up with the
first line to avoid accidents from the fire of
