    Hello gentlemen!

    Could you please tell, which one is the very best book about british uniforms, insignias, badges etc. of the first world war?

    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Hello Prussian,

    whilst i cannot comment on if these are 'the very best' ( as my depth of knowledge on the subject matter simply isn't deep enough) here are two that you should find rather helpful.

    British Uniforms & Equipment of the Great War, 1914-18, volume I, Clothing and Necessaries

    Uniforms & Equipment of the British Army in World War I

    Both of these will be a good introduction to the topic.

    Good luck!

    There are so many books on this period that I think this is the reason you have not had a lot of recomendations.

    Try these that Patrick (did we welcome you to GMIC Patrick ?) has recommended - also, try a search on

    Google for this subject - probably thousands of pages. Mervyn

    Hello Mervyn.

    That could be a reason, yes. But because of those books are not quite cheap, I´m looking for "the perfect book". I don´t need too much old photographies, I´d rather bee looking for a book with many tablets, uniform charts like it is i the fieldgrey book from Dr. Kraus.
