British Army Cap Badges of the First World War

Description

By Peter Doyle and Chris Foster

Cap badges are used to identify military units and to commemorate major events in their history, and are often very attractive in their own right. This book catalogues every individual British cap badge worn in the First World War and will help collectors and family historians to better understand the origins and meaning of heirlooms or pieces in their own collection. More than 300 of the badges are described and illustrated in colour photographs, and pictures of the soldiers who wore them help to keep the badges in context as an integral part of the uniform of the countless troops who fought in the Great War.
