The War Diary for today records. In the early morning it was supposed the enemy had evacuated the SANNAIYAT position during the night, and to find out whether this was so or not, the 28th and 19th Bde’s were ordered to advance in attack formation at about 9.15am on the enemy’s position and, if held, to get as forward as possible and entrench. The enemy allowed the advance to continue up to about 900 yards and then repeated their tactics of the day before. The 28th Bde again suffered heavy casualties. It was decided to advance the general line of trenches (constructed that morning) 300 yards after dark set in. The Battn dug that portion of the line on the extreme right, with its right sitting on the SUWAIKEH MARSH, the 51st SIKHS (FRONTIER FORCE) on our left, the 19th Bde on their left. The Battn remained in their new trenches.
