The attribution to Schultz is made on stylistic grounds. This rough field sketch of the order of battle, in which the Allied army encamped, would have formed part of the compilation materials for Schultz's Plan of all the Marches and Incampments of the Army of the Allies commanded by His Majesty the King of Great Britain from the Battle of Dettingen to the End of the Campain, in the Year 1743 at RCIN 728103.
This encampment, in order of battle, with the British (red), Hanoverian (yellow), Hessian (blue), and Austrian (green) all named, can be seen at a reduced scale on the maps at RCINs 728116 and 728117.
