of quartermaster and supply functions during wartime and to those
who are deeply interested in the BEF."-- "Argunners"
"Initially, I was a bit surprised when I received this book as I'd
anticipated something quite different. However, when I started the
read I became more interested in how the British textile industry
and defense establishment evolved to supply five million men
serving on the Western Front with their clothing."-- "AMPS"
