FRENCH CAVALRY OF LOUIS XV PART 1: ROYAL LINE REGIMENTS (1715-63)

72pp., 4to, fully illus.throughout in colour of uniforms and standards, P.B. 2025. Perhaps the most difficult of all the subjects in our Military Colours series is to work through the minefield of conflicting information on the French Cavalry of the period. In many instances the evidence simply does not exist. Stephen has outdone his own meticulous standards in patiently working his way through what information we have for these magnificent uniforms and in particular the standards. He begins a muti-volume series with this study of the 15 Royal Cavalry Regiments.
