This book was invaluable in helping me to come up with just the right uniform for my character Edward Ware to don when he shipped out to Gallipoli in 1915. He stands on the docks at Liverpool wearing a Khaki Drill Service Dress uniform made from sand colored twilled cotton cloth. This uniform is pictured on plate B between p 24 and p. 33. This is the sort of book that makes World War I come alive for the reader.Those Who Dream By Day

I Love Osprey. And This Subject Matter Is Very Dear To Me As Both My Grandfathers Were Young
British Officers In WWI.The Books are Well Written and The Colour Plates are All Works Of Art Themselfs as A Figure Modeler I use the Books For The Correct Paints.Other Books If They Happen To Mention The Weapons Its Just a Gloss Over While This Series Gives Information For In This Case E-W Enfield To Webley The Writing is too The Point the only down side to me Is its all to short. I wish Osprey would Rerealse all Three In a Single Volume. with more artwork. and also sell the Plates as Prints. Here On Amazon. And This Book Means a Lot To Me as My Dad's Father was A Cavalry Officer Who Rode Into Jerusalem Dec 9, 1917 With The British Army.
