Sobre este artículo
London: Osprey Publishing Ltd.. Near Fine. 1995. Softcover. 1855325152 . (Men-At-Arms) Series; B&W and Color; 7 1/4 x 9 3/4"; 48 pages; Soft cover has white spine with black lettering. Slight rubbing to covers. Pages are clean and tight. Illustrated with color and b/w pictures. 'To most contemporary politicians the 18th century British Army was no more than an unwelcome necessity in wartime and an unjustifiable extravagance in peacetime. Nevertheless, the overall impression which is to be gained from a close study of the Army's own records, and from the surviving letters, diaries and memoirs, is that the British Army of the 18th century was very little different in character or in spirit from today's British Army. It was, above all, a force which was led, not driven, into battle. This book looks at the uniforms and organisation of the infantry of King George's Army as well as its participation in various conflicts, such as the War of the Austrian Succession (1740-1748) and the Seven Years' War (1756-1763).

Sinopsis
Stuart Reid was born in Aberdeen in 1954. His life-long interest in military history has led to a longstanding involvement in historical re-enactment, which has broadened into work as a military advisor-cum-troop-instructor for film companies. He has a special interest in the British army during the 18th and 19th centuries.
