This book brings together a whole range of documents to form a reference work on the evolution of French infantry uniforms during the Seven Years War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis period marks the first appearance of many aspects of later military uniforms. For example, epaulettes were introduced. This little piece of cloth edged with fringes was initiated by Mar?chal de Belle Isle in 1759, and spread to armies all over the world, sometimes taking on impressive proportions. And even though today they are only found on the ceremonial uniforms of modern troops, they have long identified the soldier's silhouette.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRichly illustrated, this book will be useful to all researchers of the military history of the Seven Years' War, re-enactors, wargamers and miniature painters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean-Louis Vial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 180451540X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781804515402\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Helion \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/30\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Jean-Louis Vial","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46052407705855,"sku":"9781804515402","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_11739cbe-52cf-4bf1-b6d6-fb70007ee72e.jpg?v=1723556286","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/french-infantry-during-the-seven-jean-louis-vial-9781804515402","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
