War Department,
lVasfiinj(ton, July 17, igi8.
The following list of conventional signs and abbreviations is reprinted
from a similar pamphlet compiled by the Second Section, General Suff (Topo-
graphy) of the American Expeditionary Forces. The conventional signs and
abbreviations in use on the French maps will hereafter be used on nil battle
maps; that is, maps used for the training of troops during the present emer-
gency, prepared in the United States. This pamphlet does not revoke or su-
persede "Conventional Signs, U. S. Army Maps" (W. D. Document 418 of
1912), nor the conventional signs published as Figures 48 to 67 in the
"Engineer Field Manual," which will continue to govern the Permanent
Military Maps of the United States
By order of the SECRETARY OF WAR:
Peyton C. March,
General, Chief .;' Staff.
Official
