Arsillery was brought to bear on the bridge, while Sir Douglas Haig directed the 1st Corps to despatch some battalions to support an attack on the bridge. But, darkness falling, and the enemy receiving reinforcements, further progress was not attainable. The 4th and Indian Corps then proceeded to consolidate the position.

The 4th and Indian Corps renewed their attack on March 11th and it, was soon seen that further advance would be impossibila till artillery had dealt with various houses and defended localities. Efforts were made thus to direct artillery fire, but as the weather did not permit of aerisi 314 observation, and telephonic communication was broken, it was impos- sible to do this with sufficient accuracy. Even when our troops stomrued houses here and there it was impossible to check our artillery, and consequently the infantry had to withdraw. The same unfavourable conditions prevailed on Mar 12th. The 4th and Indian Corps gallantly attempted to capture strongly fortified positions, but they were unable to maintain themselves, although they succeeded in holding them for scrne hours.
