Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Part of British military map wQ 50/16 N.E. published in 1931. The map uses the "War Office Cassini ('WOFO') Grid" - the first kilometre-based grid used in the United Kingdom. This image is cropped to show two 5 km by 5 km squares.

Author War Office

The south-western corner of the map has grid reference 150600 (ie 15.0 km east of the wQ grid origin and 60.0 km north of the origin).[1] This point maps onto the Ordnance Survey grid reference SU711403 .[2] (Region between Farnham and Alton). Land above the 120 metre contour was coloured red by hand as part of a military exercise.
