[From front jacket flap] Infantry Uniforms Including Artillery and Other Supporting Corps of Britain and The Commonwealth 1742-1855 recreates an era when the scarlet of the British soldier came to be known and respected throughout Europe, an era which still had something of the chivalry of the Middle Ages when the regimental color was carried into battle and defended against all odds. Known as "footsloggers," infantrymen had none of the dash and glitter of cavalrymen. They were generally recruited from the cities and the countryside, but it was they who won the battles, campaigned in Europe, defended England at Waterloo and Blenheim, and garrisoned the British Empire as it then was. Following the success of Cavalry Uniforms of Britain and The Commonwealth Including Other Mounted Troops, the joint authors, Robert and Christopher Wilkinson-Latham, bring to the subject of infantry uniforms a family tradition of military-historical knowledge: for more than a century, Wilkinson Sword has supplied the British Army with swords and muskets. Jack Cassin-Scott, a specialist in military illustration, pays pictorial tribute to Britain's standing army in ninety-six pages of vivid and accurate color plates, each of them complete with a close-up of an authentic item of equipment. Together with the detailed text, these superb illustrations provide military historians and laymen alike with a perfect reference book. Contents include: introduction; chronological survey of uniform styles; notes on arms and accoutrements; close-ups of shakos, belt plates, etc.; color plates divided by regiment type; historical notes.…
