Eye candy; but not a reference workBy A CustomerThis is a translation/reprint of a Musee de l'Armee publication.The anonymously authored introductory text is very brief andoffers little beyond a short history and warning not to takethe plates (less than a 1/3 of the originals) on face value.There is a recommendation for a work on the uniform regulationsthemselves; but; of course; it's in French. There are no noteson the plates.The plates; however; are very well done; and it's well worthpicking up as a remainder; even if it's just a picture book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
