seven o'clock
Three hours after midnight the cry was heard , `` Stand to your arms . '' We rose to our feet , every two comrades wringing their wet blankets , and placing them on their knapsacks . We then fell in , and waited till daylight , when we were ordered to pile arms and fall out , but not to go more than a hundred yards from our regiments , as we might be required at a moment 's notice to march to the front . The sun rose brightly , without a cloud in the sky , and at seven o'clock the whole army advanced . The Turks were on the right , next the sea , then the French , next the British second division , followed by the third , and on their left the light division , followed by the first and fourth . On the left of all marched the cavalry . The artillery of each division was on its left .
