The outbreak of WW1 in 1914 found the British Army unready in many
respects for a new age of warfare. However, the British led the
world in the personal equipment worn by the infantryman thanks to
an American officer named Anson Mills and the skills of the company
created to produce his design - the 1908 equipment set made in
woven cotton web. By the outbreak of WW2, the British infantry had
new 1937 pattern equipment, whose design reflected a new generation
of weapons and tactics. This proved unequal to the special demands
of jungle warfare in the Far East: so 1944 saw yet another set of
kit. In this book the author offers collectors and students of
militaria a detailed review of these infantry equipments which
spanned the British soldier's combat experience throughout most of
the 20th century.
