Description:
Apparently two copies of this 48 page brochure exist in the BNF. These are the only ones we have been able to locate - so, VERY RARE! This is an argument in favour of a drastic (two-thirds) reduction to leave only the light brigades, still in 1869 potentially useful on the battlefield.This booklet was purchased by Louis Tronchin, a Colonel in the Swiss Federal Army. His handwritten autograph appears at the top of cover: "M. Louis Tronchin Col. Féd. à Lavigny".Excellent condition despite light foxing throughout.Price negociable. Postage free worldwide.
