The 11th Field Company's (RAE 1st AIF) diary includes a watercolour sketch of the Ancre Valley done by Vasco. It was done from a position on the Morlancourt Ridge, between the Somme and the Ancre Rivers, close to where the Red Baron was shot down. Vasco's 1918 panorama, from what was already a war cemetery on the left to Heilly village on the right, appears largely unchanged in a contemporary panorama photo taken from an approximate location.
