5.0 out of 5 stars
Fabulous book! Outsanding period photographs!,
By Aragorn Elessar (Gondor) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Uniforms & Equipment Of The British Army In World War I: A Study In Period Photographs (Hardcover)
I am really impressed with this series from Schiffer publishing. I really like the organization of the British Army book and I hope there will be a second volume like there was for the Imperial German book! If you love the First World War then you will love this series. The reason I praise these books so much is because I have long been interested in this subject but, I had no photos to illustrate how the soldiers lived. Thanks to this series now I do!
