King George's Army 1740-93 (2) Paperback / softback
by Stuart (Author) Reid
Illustrated by Paul Chappell
Part of the Men-at-Arms series
Paperback / softback
Description
The 18th century was marked by a steady growth in central control of the British Army and a corresponding decrease in the influence enjoyed by individual commanding officers.
The most obvious sign of this process was the increasing uniformity of the clothing issued each year to the soldiers.
Nevertheless, as far as those who devised the Clothing Regulations were concerned, it was a constant, and invariably quite uphill struggle to enforce compliance.
This companion volume to Men-at-Arms 285 takes a further look at the infantry uniforms of the mid-18th century British Army, also covering the various auxiliary infantry formations, such as the Militia, Volunteers, Marines and the troops of the East India Company.
Men-at-Arms 273, 285, 289, 290 and 292 are also available in a single volume special edition as 'Soldiers of the Revolutionary War'.
