    Maybe Strong Post No. 6 and the times at the post-position numbers at the dugouts, line etc.

    They are the times that the various sub-units should be at their assigned posts. A Coy. should be at Lurgan Camp at 3:05 pm; B Coy. at Strong Point 6 at 2:50 p.m., etc. The last one is 2 platoons of D Coy. in the right front line at 2:10 p.m.
