World War One: British Army (Brassey's History of Uniforms Series)

Rating:
Summary: I Expected More
Review: Although it appears to contain some good information, one's confidence in its accuracy is underminded by a lot of incorrect information. Some of the statements made are even contradicted by the photographs in the book. A very lengthy section describing the cap badges of the British Army could have been better done with pictures. On the plus side, the colour illustrations were great. On the whole I expected more of this book.

Review: For a easy to read overview of the organization, equipt and uniforms of the British Army of WW1, this book is quite good. It has many interesting photos but the artwork plates are of only average quality. Some interesting indexes in the back. For the price, I was hoping for a bit more. I would buy one of the Osprey WW1 titles first but Bull's book is a good second.
