The above diagram has been created using several sources, see below.

Six tanks from 11 company were to act as wire crushers. "E" Battalion allocated both of their Top Towers to Wire crushing duties ^(W5o) and "D" battalion may have done likewise.

10 Company’s 12 tanks were to attack along with 6 tanks from 11 Company in the first wave supporting the 6^th Black Watch and 5^th Gordon Highlanders of 153^rd Division. The tanks were grouped in threes, each group being followed by a platoon of infantry that were 100yds behind. To allow the infantry to identify the tanks and ensure they were still following the correct group if one or two tanks were Knocked Out the tanks were numbered D1 to D18 from the right. These battalion numbers were apparently painted on the rear of the tank between the horns (photographs of KO "E" battalion tanks), information on "E" battalion's tanks indicate the battalion numbers did not correspond to the crew numbers (W4a)
