British Military Uniforms (Discovering)

Plot

The myriad details of the uniforms worn by the British Army during the last three centuries can be the subject of a lifetime's study, both in the intrinsic fascination arising from their history and in their complexity. It is a study which can be pursued through a large number of books of reference, works of art, and collections of uniforms in military museums. This book offers the fruits of such a study in a unique, accessible form. The lover of military tradition will be able to trace the development of the dress of the British soldier over the years. The military modeller will have at his disposal a valuable aid which, with its illustrations and colour charts, will enable him to determine the details of any regular regiment at any period.
