The text is backed by numerous illustrations and photographs. Contents: Defining a Military Elite - The British Army Today - Anatomy of an Army - The Corps and Regiments of the British Army - Uniforms and Distinctions - The Plates.. Soft Cover. As New. Illus. by Chappell, Mike. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
