Mervyn Mitton Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Looking at a book the other day, I realised it had wonderful ref. material for anyone interested in the history of uniforms.Commissioned by The Royal Artillery Institute - an official body - it traces every pattern of uniform worn by the Regt. from King Charles 1st. until 1897 when the book was published. Only 1500 were printed and 1000 of these were by subscription - so, it is a very rare volume. I will do the posts in two parts - 1625 to 1800 and 1800 to 1897. We seem to have more historical uniform collectors at present - and also more Artillerymen. No matter your interest, this will be a ref. for the future, that will be hard to equal.
