Cap Badges of the British Army 1939-1945
Langbeschreibung
The British Army has always set great store by its cap badges, which, in miniature, encapsulated the history and traditions of the units that wore them. They were worn with pride by the County regiments (that formed the bulk of the infantry) throughout the two world wars. Here is a comprehensive illustrated collection of the cap badges of World War II, the images taken from the author's own collection. The commentary on each badge explains the joining together of battalions as the war progressed and a regimental index makes finding the badges easy. This is a complex subject clarified in one volume for the first time.
G. L. D. Alderton spent more than a decade researching this work and has spent a lifetime creating the most complete set of WWII British Army cap badges held anywhere.
