Description: | James McBey 12 September 1917
image: three British soldiers sit and stand on the mound of a hill in the right foreground. One of the men looks through a telescope into the distance whilst another uses binoculars. The third stands over a heliograph, a wireless solar telegraph communication device using morse code flashes of sunlight reflected by a mirror. The hill has a wide view over a huge expanse of flat arid ground, with a wadi running across it.
