The Armies of India

Classic depiction of the Indian Army at the height of the English Age of the Empire - superb uniform plates are set alongside a historical narrative with notes on the Indian Army, its regiments and battles. This is an invaluable work for anyone interested in the Indian armies and their military uniforms.The impressive watercolour plates by Major Lovett depict the many full dress and field service dress uniforms of the British Indian Army during the years leading up to the Great War. Never again would the pressures of economy allow uniforms of such variety, colour and distinctiveness.
