Wellington's Legendary Army faithfully reconstructed¡¡¡¡: One of the best resource for Uniforms of the British army on the Napoleonic Wars, fully illustrated with color photograph of Re-enactors of the Wellington's Army, recreating the everyday life of the infantry, cavalry, artillery and staff. Great description of the photos by Mr. Neil Leonard, the book is only 95 pages but you would find the most famous redcoat regiments(the 95th "rifle" regiment) plus the German Units(only two photos) I would prefer to see one book for the Infantry and another for Cavalry and Artillery but may be in another publication, also another title dedicated to the Victorian Soldier. Too small for my taste but many beautiful color photos. Wellington's Legendary Army faithfully reconstructed¡¡¡¡¡¡ GREAT BUY, sadly out print.There are more book on the Europa Militaria Specials series dedicated to the Napoleonic Army; Napoleon's Line Infantry and Artillery Napoleon's Imperial Guard Napoleon's Line Cavalry German Napoleonic Armies You'll enjoy the details of weapons, equipment and uniforms. After reading it you would want to join one of this regiment for sure. Highly recommended¡¡¡ For those interested in researching deeper look for the Philip Haythornthwaite "Wellington's Army: The Uniforms of the British Soldier, 1812-1815" and the Osprey Men-at-Arms series, look for the new titles dedicated to the Peninsular War "Wellington's Peninsula Regiments" by Mike Chappell.
Excellent uniform guide: Filled with color pictures. These series and Brassey's are the best for uniforms.
