"At a mile distant their thousand hooves were stuttering thunder, coming at a rate that frightened a man - they were an awe inspiring sight, galloping through the red haze - knee to knee and horse to horse - the dying sun glinting on bayonet points..." Trooper Ion Idriess

Contour Map of the Area around Bir el Mazar

[Click on map for larger version.]

The above map was drawn up by the Aerial Mapping Section in Cairo, 8 February 1917. This map illustrates the area surrounding Bir el Mazar where the Light Horse and Ottoman forces fought each other on 17 September 1916. The nature of the terrain is well demonstrated as well as the emerging mapping skills derived from aerial photography, a skill in its infancy but becoming increasingly sophisticated. The map enables a reader to follow the details given in the various accounts to pin point accuracy.

Calculating distances on this map is simple. Each numbered square is 1,000 yards by 1,000 yards.
