_General Idea_
(Reference Map--1/2 in. Map, County of Cumberland)
A force (Brown) consisting of one Infantry Brigade, covering the
approaches to PARRAMATTA from the South, is camped at LIVERPOOL.
A hostile force (White) of all arms is known to be at HELENSBURGH.
During the night of the 6th-7th January, reliable information was
received that the White force had advanced along the OLD ILLAWARRA
ROAD, and was bivouacked at DARK'S FOREST.
_Special Idea_
(Reference Map.--Map of Liverpool Manoeuvre Area)
On the morning of the 7th January the O.C. Brown Brigade was
informed by his patrols that the White Advanced Guard had occupied
ECKERSLEY at 8 A.M.
On the receipt of this information the O.C. Brown Brigade decides
to advance and attack the White force.
1ST PHASE
1. Reconnaissance and Screening Duties by the Light Horse.
2. Use of Artillery in checking the advance of hostile Infantry by
long-range fire.
