A worked-up sketch, giving a medium to high oblique view, of the encampment of the Allied army along the north side of Gross Schifferstadt (Schifferstadt 49°23'14"N 08°22'29"E). Regimental rectangles appear to be coloured according to nationality: British (red), Austrians (green), and Hanoverians/Hessians (yellow). This sketch, and the field sketch from which it was compiled (RCIN 728126), would have formed part of the compilation materials for RCIN 728103.
