Buckner ordered up his artillery and reserves to pursue the enemy or hold his newly- won position.

The month spent in that sector was one of hard work for all ranks consolidating the newly won position, but was without important incident.

For two sleepless days and nights under continual fire they remained in their dearly won position until, under cover of darkness, they were relieved.

Dig as hard as you have charged in order to hold the freshly won position, with "there" become "here" and the Ridge at your backs!

(A successful attacking party has been shelled out of its hardly won position by its own artillery before now-onboth sides!)
