Austrian Mtn. Gun Shell is to be used against moving (or movable)

H.Q. 1ST EXPEDITIONARY FORCE,
July 9th, 1916.

ORDERS FOR ADVANCE FROM EL ARISH.

1. The regulations regarding the march have been explained in previous
orders.

2. Fresh orders will be issued to the advanced guard on reaching the
line Oghratina--Hod-el-Messia--Mugheibra and to the detachment
proceeding to Bir-el-Abd.

The orders issued on July 8th, 1916, refer to the advance from El Arish.

THE MARCH.

1. The march under war conditions commences from El Arish, _i.e._ it
being probable that hostile reconnaissances will be encountered, the
advance must be effected with the necessary screen. There being a
Turkish Detachment at Bir-el-Mazar, up to this point precautions need be
observed. From Bir-el-Mazar the war zone commences. From this point it
is necessary to separate the advanced guard and main body and send
reconnoitring detachments ahead of the advanced guard.
