Product Description
Product 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.

Bland but filling
20 April 2006
Format:Paperback
Though a bit bland for an Osprey book the books of this series Stuart Reid has produced are insightful for those interested in the troops of this period.
My only complaint being that they do not cover the American colonial formations of this period or the various German troops Britain also employed

Excellent reference work
23 Jan 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As with most Osprey books, the only thing this one lacks is more pages. It is well laid out and has very good illustrations. Not the do all be all of books on this subject, but a very good reference. I recommend it for modelers and researchers.

Good but Dry
13 Jan 2001
Format:Paperback
This book gives information on British calvery and artilllery units from about 1740 to 1790. It deals with troops in the seven years war, India, American revolotion, and Jacobite rebelions. The pictures and illustrations are good. The info is good and accurate. One problem is the writing is very dry. I've read many Osprey books but this is the dullest. I also wish the author had given information on Loyalists units in America.
