Description
"The most comprehensive work on the British infantry material culture to date, brimming with exquisite full color photos of original artifacts and paintings. The story of the British infantry, their daily life, weapons, tools, food, and clothing is described in the soldier's own words, utilizing entries from original journals, orderly books, and official papers. Though there is an emphasis on the soldiers fighting in the French & Indian War in America, this book covers the entire British infantry, at home and abroad, in wartime and peacetime"--Publisher's website.
