World War I Infantry in Colour Photographs
This title presents battle uniforms, personal equipment, insignia and weapons of the infantrymen of the Great War illustrated in detail. Original surviving uniforms, harness and weapons - assembled from rare private collections - are illustrated in full on live models, just as they were worn on the battlefield. Each of these 31 soldiers - British, German, French, Russian, Austrian, Italian, American and Belgian - is photographed from both back and front, with key-diagrams, and accompanied by a detailed commentary by leading experts who are themselves collectors, identifying and explaining each item of uniform and equipment.
