Aylmer's plan split his force into three columns (A, B, and C). Columns A and B were grouped together and placed under the command of Major-General Kemball. Column C, under the command of Major-General Kearny, would be the reserve force. On the night of 7 March 1916, the entire force began crossing the river in preparation for the night march to the Dujualia redoubt. Lacking any real terrain features to help with the night time navigation, each column would have navigate by compass, checking their progress by counting steps, bicycle tachometers, and walking sticks.

In the darkness, things started to go wrong. Columns A and B became separated, losing contact with each other, slowing the advance as they tried to find each other in the dark. The artillery became lost and was almost an hour and a half late reaching their assigned positions.

⇒エールマーの計画は、彼の軍隊を3個縦隊に分割した（A,B,およびC隊）。縦隊AとBは一緒のグループに分けられて、ケンボール少将の指揮下に置かれた。縦隊Cは、ケアニー少将の指揮下で、予備軍とされた。1916年3月7日の夜、ドゥジャイラ*要塞を目指す夜間行軍の前段として、全軍が渡河を始めた。夜間のナビゲーションの助けとすべき実際の地形特徴が何もないので、個々の縦隊は羅針盤、歩数計算、自転車タコメーター、およびステッキ歩行などによってナビゲート（手探り行軍）するものとした。
＊Dujualia：Dujaila（ドゥジャイラ）の異綴と思われます。

＞In the darkness, things started to go wrong. Columns A and B became separated, losing contact with each other, slowing the advance as they tried to find each other in the dark. The artillery became lost and was almost an hour and a half late reaching their assigned positions.
⇒暗闇に覆われて状況が悪くなり始めた。縦隊AとBは、互いに離れて接触を失い、暗闇の中でお互いを発見しようとして進軍が遅れていった。砲兵隊は道に迷い、指定された場所に到着するのに約1時間半も遅れてしまった。
