>The assaulting forces once again failed to reach their objective, suffering casualties which included the commander of the King's African Rifles, Lieutenant-Colonel B.R. Graham. A few isolated pockets of attackers reached the top during the gathering darkness, but were also eventually forced to retreat by German counter-attacks. To shore up the attacking units, Tighe ordered half of the 5th South African Regiment into the line. ⇒襲撃軍隊は、またしても目標到達に失敗し、国王アフリカ・ライフル隊の指揮官B.R.グラハム中佐を含む犠牲を被った。2,3の孤立した攻撃小隊が、次第につのる暗闇の中頂上に着いたが、結局ドイツ軍の反撃によってまた退くことを強いられた。ティグは攻撃部隊を支えるために、第5南アフリカ連隊の半分に戦線入りを命じた。 >Despite the reinforcements the Entente troops were again forced to withdraw. Smuts responded by putting the 7th South African Regiment under Tighe's command. The 7th reached Tighe at roughly 8pm, and a new plan was drawn up. The two South African Regiments, who were the freshest troops available, would attack the Nek at night - with bayonets fixed. ⇒その増援にもかかわらず、協商国軍部隊は、再び撤退することを余儀なくされた。スマッツは、第7南アフリカ連隊をティグの指揮下に置くことでこれに対応した。第7連隊は、午後8時ごろティグのもとに参集して、新しい計画が練られた。南アフリカ2個連隊が使える最新の軍隊なので、その彼らが ― 銃剣を装備して ― 夜間に山の背を攻撃することとなった。
