The books presented at the exhibition are annotated and supplemented with codes and inventory numbers indicating the location of publications in the library departments. In addition, brief descriptions of the battles are presented, supplemented with maps and diagrams, copies of paintings and ancient engravings, photographs of medals and monuments in honor of these events.
