Well I can tell you that thought has proven false. The dragoons were every bit as confusing and confounding as the regular cavalry. We have gleaned every French source we have found including royal decrees and the different books of the Etat Militaire from 1748, 1753, 1757, 1758, 1759, and 1761 along with the Essai Sur La Cavalerie published in 1756 along with more modern sources like Pajol and Lienhart and Humbert. The result are comparisons and contrasts for all these sources for you our reader to make the decisions for himself or herself. We have also presented beautiful full color schematic illustrations of each regiment along with beautiful renditions of the famous dragoon cap for each regiment. In addition to the dragoons we have included the sixteen companies of the Gendarmes de France. They ranked between the troops of the King or the Maison du Roi and the regular cavalry. These companies were all formed together in squadrons and served under their own commander as a regiment of cavalry. They were made up of richly attired nobles who went on campaign with a full baggage train and accompanied by their personal servants like knights of old. Their exploits were quite famous during the early part of the 18th Century. During the Seven Years War they were in line alongside the Royal Carabiniers at the battle of Minden. Despite heavy losses they fought bravely.Like all Uniformology publications you will find more color and more details than any other source.. Soft Cover. As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

The Hapsburg Empire controlled much of central and southern Europe and what is today Austria, Hungary, the Czech and Slovak republics, eastern and southern Poland, northern Italy and Belgium and its armies reflected that diverse population. Austria was at the center of most of the political events of the time and was a major participant in nearly all the conflicts that took place. Its armies were not always victorious, but often Austria prevailed at the treaty table and the throne of the Holy Roman Empire remained in the hands of the Hapsburgs. These two volumes cover the Austrian Army from the beginning of the reign of Ferdinand III in 1637 to the abdication of Francis I (of Austria) in 1835. The…

By 1888 there were three armies in the new Austro-Hungarian Empire; The Regular (KuK), the KK Landwehr and the Hungarian Honved. Huge organizational changes were also made including conscription and the creation of All-Arms Divisions based on the German model. In matters of uniform, the infantry’s white coats were gone, replaced by blue and all the cavalry wore red trousers. Ruhl’s plates while very general and somewhat imprecise, give an excellent all round view of the Austro-Hungarian armed forces of the period.. Soft Cover. As New. Illus. by Ruhl, Moritz. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Although he was not much interested in military affairs (There were no Russian troops involved in conflicts during his reign) he was a reactionary monarch and did as much as he could to undo the liberal reforms of his father. As far as the army was concerned, he decided they should be dressed in a fashion that suited his Pan-Slavic ambitions and should be as far removed from the European standard as possible. He did away with all the fine uniforms (except in the Guard cavalry) and replaced them with a ‘national peasant’ look. Ruhl shows these to good effect with the addition of a selection of plates with schematics at the end.. Soft Cover. As New. Illus. by…

Before the end of the 19th Century, American troops would have fought in the Philippines and Cuba and less than 20 years away from their participation in World War I. The uniforms, while uniquely suited to the plains in campaign dress, were more like the standard European armies of the time. The spiked helmet, inspired by the German Pickelhaube was introduced for Cavalry in 1872 for cavalry and in 1881 for infantry and by 1888 all the various branches were distinguished by different collar cuffs and trouser stripes. Ruhl not only shows all these uniforms but includes several pages of rank, branch and service badges along with weapons and…
