- Additional information reads, "It was now well on in May I9I7, and the little survey party which had followed the fortunes of the 3rd Corps was at last broken up. I (G. A. Beazeley) was transferred with my computer, to take charge of a detachment of two officers and eight surveyors to carry out a large-scale survey of Samarra and its neighbourhood. The scale selected was the 6-inch, and it was decided to call in the aid of air photographs, which were adjusted to a framework of points fixed by triangulation and plane-table intersection. The congregated photos were then reduced to the 6-inch scale, blue prints prepared and issued to the surveyors, who transferred the detail to their boards and carried out supplementary survey including contouring. The total area surveyed was I20 square miles and included A1 Kaim and Istabulat." [G. A. Beazeley: Surveys in Mesopotamia during the War.
