"I received a message informing me that the devision on our right was to attack at 4 pm, & instructing me to co-operate if I thought there was a fair chance of doing it successfully. I did not think there was such a chance for the following reasons:-
I had no time to make preparations or to issue orders.
The artillery preparation was still inadequate.
M.G.s were as active as ever.
I therefore did not attack."
