They successfully took the position by assault and dug themselves in in front of the main position, half a mile beyond the Ottoman trenches.[5] At 6.30 a.m. the Black Watch and Gurkhas reached the foot of the high ridge, where the enemy lay waiting for the assault.[2] The Gurkhas and Black Watch reached their objectives almost at the same moment.[4][5] The Gurkhas took nearly 200 prisoners in the north redoubt, where the enemy's resistance was not as heavy as elsewhere.[4] But in the Dujail Redoubt the Turks resistance was more effective. The Black Watch had cleared this strong point at 6.45 a.m.[4] The Turks quickly reorganized their forces and counter-attacked.
