First Army Panorama No. P. 124, made on 26-6-17, from Hill 145. S.16.c.72.14, Sheet 36c,

including a field of view of 72° from about 24°-96'.

(Approximate scale of degrees-1 degree = 2 inches).


The rectangles on this panorama have no reference to the squares on the maps. Each

number is approximate bearing from grid North, and is divided into four rectangles, A, B,

C, D. The number is at the left hand top corner of the rectangle to which it refers.


Points can be accurately fixed in these rectangles by means of the special co-ordinate

cards is the same way as on maps. Thus the point of the roof of Fosse 5, Cité St. Antoine,

would be described as 42.B.9.4.


Owing to distortion these grid bearings are not all absolutely correct, but the greatest error does not exceed a few minutes.


1. Panoramas are taken solely for military purposes.

2. The publication of them in the press will necessarily give valuable information to the enemy.

3. This panorama is to be kept with as much security as is compatible with full advantage of it being taken by our own troops.

4. When troops are relieved this panorama should be handed over to the relieving troops.
