King Georges Army 1740 - 93 (3) by Stuart Reid

The 18th century was marked by a steady growth in central control of the British Army and a corresponding decrease in the influence enjoyed by individual commanding officers. The most obvious sign of this process was the increasing uniformity of the clothing issued each year to the soldiers. Nevertheless, as far as those who devised the Clothing Regulations were concerned, it was a constant, and invariably quite uphill struggle to enforce compliance. This companion volume to Men-at-Arms 285 and Men-at-Arms 289 examines the organization and uniforms of King George's cavalry and artillery together with those of the Board of Ordnance.

Stuart Reid has worked as a librarian and a professional soldier. His main focus of interest lies in the 18th and 19th centuries, having ancestors who served in the British Army and the East India Company. His previous works for Osprey include British Redcoat 1740-1815 (Warriors 19 and 20) and Warrior 21: Highland Clansman 1689-1746.

Paul Chappell has had a keen interest in military history for a number of years, which has proved invaluable in his illustrating. He has illustrated several books for Osprey including the first two volumes in this three-book series - Men-at-Arms 285 King George's Army 1740-1793 (1) and Men-at-Arms 289 King George's Army 1740-1793 (2). Paul currently lives with is family in Minnesota in the United States.
