Aylmer’s troops were exhausted and demoralized as they continued to make their way up the Tigris toward Kut. Their progress was hampered by the region’s typical shortage of available roads and supply routes. Aylmer planned to outflank the Wadi position, capture the Hanna Defile and surround the Ottoman force. The 28th Indian Brigade of the 7th (Meerut) Division under Brigadier General George Kemball would attack the Wadi trenches frontally, while the rest of the Tigris Corps moved around the flank. However, the British troops were hampered by having no accurate maps of the area, so much of the planning was left to chance.

Meanwhile, the Ottoman army, under new regional commander Halil Pasha, set up new and firmer defensive positions—with some 20,000 troops—along the banks of the smaller Wadi River, through which the British would have to pass to reach Kut.

⇒エールマーの軍隊は、チグリス川上流のクツへ向かって進み続けた時に疲弊しきって、士気をくじかれた。彼らの進軍は、地域の利用可能な道路と供給ルートの典型的な不足によって妨げられたのである。エールマーは、ワジの陣地を側面から包囲し、ハナ峡谷を攻略してオスマントルコ軍を取り囲むことを計画した。

⇒ジョージ・ケンボール准将指揮下の第７（メールト）師団所属の第28インド旅団がワジの塹壕を正面攻撃する一方、チグリス隊の残り部隊は側面のあたりに展開するものとした。しかし、英国の軍隊は、地域の正確な地図を持っていないことによってそれを阻まれたので、従って計画の多くは成行きに任された。

⇒その間オスマントルコの方面軍は、新しい地域司令官ハリル・パシャの指揮下に、新しくかつより堅固な防御陣地 ―約20,000人の軍隊が駐屯― を小さなワジ川の土手に沿って設営したのだが、英国軍がクツに到着するためにはそこを通らなければならなかったのである。
