On their right, machine gun fire from the woodland area delayed the 160th Brigade's attack on Samson Ridge, which was not captured until 13:00. This woodland area south west of Ali Muntar in the vicinity of Romani Trench and Outpost Hill, had been targeted with gas shells during the artillery bombardment. Despite heavy casualties, Samson Ridge was captured during a bayonet attack, but most of the officers and NCOs were casualties. By the time Samson Ridge was captured, a 2nd Lieutenant was in command of the battalion. They also captured 39 prisoners. Subsequently, the 159th Brigade captured Sheikh Ajlin on the coast without difficulty, while a counterattack on Samson Ridge against the 160th Brigade was unsuccessful. The division suffered 600 casualties, most of them during the fighting for Samson Ridge, but were unable to advance further until the 52nd (Lowland) Division came up to protect their right flank. The official British historian was critical of this division: "It appears that the men of the 53rd Division still felt the effects of their losses, disappointments and fatigue in the battle fought three weeks earlier, for their advance, even up to Samson Ridge, had been much slower than that of the other two divisions." On the left of Eastern Attack and extending the line of the 53rd (Welsh) Division, the leading brigade of the 52nd (Lowland) Division, the 155th (South Scottish) Brigade would begin their attack by pushing forward along the Es Sire Ridge with the 156th (Scottish Rifles) Brigade echeloned behind to their right.

⇒彼ら東部軍団の右翼に対する森林地域からの機関銃砲火によって、第160旅団のサムソン・リッジ攻撃が間延びし、13時まで攻略できなかった。ロマーニ塹壕とアウトポスト（前哨基地）ヒル近くのアリ・ムンター南西にあるこの森林地域は、砲撃の間毒ガス弾の標的とされた。甚大な犠牲者にもかかわらず、サムソン・リッジは銃剣攻撃の間に攻略した。けれども、大部分の将校とNCO（無任所士官）が犠牲になった。

⇒サムソン・リッジを攻略した頃は、少尉が大隊を指揮していた。彼らはまた、39人の囚人を捕縛した。その後、サムソン・リッジに乗り込んだ第160旅団に対する反撃で（敵軍が）手こずっている間に、第159旅団が苦もなく沿岸のシャイフ・アジリンを攻略した。この師団は600人の犠牲者を被ったが、その大部分がサムソン・リッジへの（敵軍の）反撃が不首尾続きの間に受けたものだった。第52（ローランド）師団が彼らの右側面を保護するためにやって来るまでは、それ以上に進軍することはできなかったのである。

⇒英国の公報史家は、この師団に批判的であった。曰く、「第53師団の兵士は、3週間前に戦った戦闘での損失、落胆、疲労の影響をまだ感じていたように見受けられます。なぜなら、彼らの進軍は、サムソン・リッジまででさえ他の2個師団のそれより非常に遅れていたからです」。「東部軍団攻撃隊」の左翼上と第53（ウェールズ）師団の延長戦線上で、第52（ローランド）師団の主要旅団、第155（南スコットランド）旅団が、彼らの右翼の後ろに梯形編成で布陣した第156（スコットランド・ライフル隊）旅団とともに、エス・シル・リッジに沿って前方へ押し進むことから攻撃を始めることとした。
