In this new book, Spencer Coil examines various models of uniforms
and equipment used by the multiethnic French armed forces in the
First World War. A carefully chosen and researched selection of
period photographs enables the reader to visualize a climactic era
in history, as experienced by the poilus (French soldiers) serving
in the trenches and on the battlefields. There are detailed
chapters covering French machineguns, medical, artillery, motor
corps, infantry, chasseur, armored car and tank units as well as
the air service and the cavalry's hussars, dragoons and
cuirassiers. Other chapters examine the French foreign legion,
Zouaves, and Tirailleurs. A full color section shows heretofore
unpublished photos of headdress, uniforms, equipment, and
accoutrements used by the French armed forces in the First World
War. This work is a must for all serious historians, collectors,
wargamers, model builders, and re-enactors.
