This volume covers much of the same materiel that was included in the British Infantry Equipments, 1908-1980 and British Army 1914-1918 titles in the Men At Arms series.
It also covers much of the same as in Chappells own publications in British Army in the Twentieth Century. Unfortunately most of those are no longer available. I hope he did not lose money on them.
This volume therefore combines the results of twenty more years of research and brings together information once available only seperately. Worth having for that reason alone.

In just 64 pages (about an hour's of reading) one gets an excellent overview of the English Tommy. Not just what he wore and the weapons he used but his typical background, motivation and training as well as what life was like on the front lines (not just in combat but the mundane nature of everday life). All in only 64 pages!!
