With the recent death of Hugh King and the disposal of his
collection by auction, The Naval and Military Press have
republished both volumes of this invaluable work, a reference tool
for dealers and auctioneers. First published in the 1970s, this
illustrated record of badges worn on every type of head-dress, from
the mitre cap to the Shako to the Field Service cap, remains the
bible for badge collectors everywhere. Changes in regimental title
and dates of amalgamations are given, along with detailed comments
for each entry. Volume two covers the period from end of the Great
War to 1979 and includes OTC badges and all special units raised in
World War II, as well as those of the Gurkha regiments. About the
authors Arthur Kipling was the editor for the Journal of the
Society for Army Historical Research and former editor of the
Bulletin of the Military Historical Society. He was the author of
many articles on military history. Hugh King was a collector with
over 40 years experience in military head-dress badges and had a
knowledge of the subject which is possessed by few in the world.
Being in touch with collectors scattered throughout the countries
of the old British Empire and the US confirmed him in the role of
an authority. He was a member of many military historical societies
and founder-member and chairman of Aldershot Militaria Society.
