When the bombardment lifted on 1 July [1916], all possible resistance seemed to have been blown apart, and the British advanced almost nonchalantly in formations learned on the parade ground--six feet separating each man across the line, a hundred yards between each assault wave, and each soldier carrying a minimum backpack of sixty-six pounds. Rapid deployment forces act as a second assault wave and are designed to build up the efforts of rapid reaction forces. Smaller craft led the way in for the dawn assault, and LST-389 was supposed to follow a flagship to shore as part of the armored assault wave. |
