The Volunteer Corps and their mounted component the Yeomanry Cavalry were a voluntary part-time organisation for the purpose of home defence in the event of invasion, during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.The Corps typically drew its members from the propertied classes. Officers were usually members of the gentry and the enlisted ranks tended to be from the lower middle classes. The failed Expédition d'Irlande of 1796 and invasion at Fishguard caused the expansion of the corps, including the formation of workplace units in which the enlisted ranks were filled by the workmen and the officers were drawn from the clerks and foremen. Such units, made up of working-class men, became more common in the late 1790s and early 1800s due to the increased fear of invasion.Ray has made a fine selection from contemporary plates, showing both Officer and rank and file volunteers, displaying their fantastic unrestrained uniforms in ceremonial, manoeuvre, posed and drill settings.One hundred and one military plates are shown and form part of our developing range of books dedicated to uniformology, that draw on seminal works and from the 18th and 19th century. They are masterpieces of military art, and important historical reference works.

102 manly colour plates taken from various contemporary sources, illustrating the many and varied uniforms of The British Volunteer Force 1859-1908.

Composed initially of middle-class and often middle-aged gentlemen who elected their own officers and paid for their own uniform and equipment, the Volunteer Force soon became youthful and working-class,with appointed middle-class officers, with a a Government subsidy, and a minor military role as an adjunct to the Regular Army. Lively commentary from expert Ray Westlake on each plate enhances their usefulness for the modern uniformologist.

Facsimile of the memorial souvenir to the British Battalion XV International Brigade, in the Spanish Civil War, including a Roll of Honour. After the Civil War was eventually won by the Nationalists, the International Brigades were initially on the 'wrong side' of history. However, with WW2 the 'brigadistas' gained prestige as the first guard of democracy, as having foreseen the danger of fascism and gone to fight it. Retrospectively, it was clear that the war in Spain was a precursor of the Second World War. Reproduced complete with programme, song sheet and small colour poster that pledges to fight until fascism has been destroyed.

This is an important title from a noted pioneer of naval aviation and of the early development of the tank. Sueter became Secretary of the Landships Committee. He was one of the Naval officers most closely involved in the establishment of the first Armoured Car Force. Contains useful information including the performance of tanks in action, also covering post-WW1 development.This naval involvement in the tank's development explains such nautical tank terms as hatch, hull, bow and ports. As might be expected, after being relieved of command in 1917, his tone is highly controversial. After leaving the Royal Navy he advised the United States and France on the development of armour.
