The attack was to begin at 5:30 am on Easter Monday, 9 April 1917. The attack was originally planned for the morning of 8 April (Easter Sunday), but it was postponed for 24 hours at the request of the French. According to the first and most comprehensive book by a Canadian veteran of the battle, Eberts Macintyre, "It was nauseating to contemplate the horrors that the representatives of two Christian nations would inflict on each other at the time of the Easter festival each believing that he was in the right." During the late hours of 8 April and early morning of 9 April the men of the leading and supporting wave of the attack were moved into their forward assembly positions. The weather was cold and later changed to sleet and snow. Although physically discomforting for everyone, the north-westerly storm provided some advantage to the assaulting troops by blowing snow in the faces of the defending troops. Light Canadian and British artillery bombardments continued throughout the prior night but stopped in the few minutes before the attack, as the artillery recalibrated their guns in preparation for the synchronized barrage. At exactly 5:30 am, every artillery piece at the disposal of the Canadian Corps began firing.

⇒攻撃は、1917年4月9日月曜日の復活祭の午前5時30分に始まることになっていた。当初は4月8日（日曜復活祭日）の朝に攻撃が予定されていたが、フランス軍の要望により24時間延期されたのである。カナダ人の戦いの熟練家、エバーツ・マッキンタイアによる最初にして最も包括的な（穿った）本によると、「2つのキリスト教の代表国が、復活祭という（宗教の）祭りの時に、それぞれ自分こそが正しいと思っている相手に負わせようとする恐怖を考えたら、吐き気を催してしまいました。」

⇒4月8日夜半と4月9日早朝との間に、攻撃の主要波と支援波の兵士が、彼らの前方の集会陣地に動かされた。天気は冷たく、後でみぞれと雪に変わった。身体的には誰にとっても不快であったが、北西の嵐は防御軍隊の顔に雪が吹きつけることによって、襲撃軍隊側に若干の利点を提供してくれた。

⇒カナダ軍と英国軍の軽砲撃は夜通し続いたが、攻撃の数分前に止まり、そのころ砲兵隊が同期する集中砲火に備えて彼らの銃砲を再調整した。午前5時30分ぴったりに、カナダ軍団管轄のあらゆる砲門から発砲が開始された。
