"...massively color illustrated literary horn of plenty... I can
only hope that a second volume detailing 1784-1914 will be
forthcoming!"-- "The Military Advisor, Fall 2017"
"...sure to become an indispensable tool for any hobbyist seeking
to identify or replicate period uniforms for military miniatures"--
"Toy Solder & Model Figure"
"This book will be of great use to anyone interested in the 18th
Century British Army as well as illustrators and others who need
detailed information in one convenient source."-- "Classic Arms and
Militaria"
"This excellent guide illustrates and identifies the different
uniforms of the numbered regiments of cavalry and infantry within
the British Army during 1751, 1768 and the end of the War of
Independence in 1783... This is a superb reference work, full of
clearly researched details. The color illustrations for every
numbered regiment along with the explanatory text for regimental
changes, plus the descriptions of how and why the equipment and
uniforms were changing overall make this a go-to reference. For
anyone interested in the British Army during the period from 1751
to 1783, this is a reference book worth owning. One look at this
book shows how it leaves all other uniform books in the dust. Use
this book to understand how a British military ancestor would have
been dressed and equipped. As a reference resource it will be of
value to family and military historians, re-enactors, figure
painters, and wargamers."-- "FGS FORUM"
