by Stuart Reid, Illustrated by Gerry Embleton. Softbound, 7-1/2"x10", 64 pages. The commissioned officer ranks of the British Army from 1740-1815 were almost entirely composed of the affluent and educated - the sons of the landed gentry, the wealthy, and other professional people. This title looks at the enlistment, training, daily life and combat experiences of the typical British officer in the crucial periods of the North American conflicts, the American Revolution, and the Napoleonic Wars. A valuable reference for the re-enactor, student of history or collector. Heavilly illustrated throughout.
