XV Corps Heavy Artillery

With reference to the final bombardment and barrages on Z day, all Artillery Officers must be careful not to fire on their objective after Zero, or the various times given in the lifts.

They must remember the time of flight of their shells and arrange to stop so that the last shells will arrive at Zero, not the last gun be fired at that time. This is necessary in order that the Infantry may know exactly when to move forward.
