At the end of the 1930s more than a few British Army Drill Sergeants must have suffered nightmares after the announcement of a new uniform for the British soldier. But with all its faults, battledress served its purpose well. It clothed the servicemen of many nations, at war and at peace, for more than 25 years, and did so with reasonable warmth and convenience. Brian Jewell, tells the story of the humble British battledress from 1937-61 in this engaging and readable text which is accompanied by numerous photographs and eight full page colour plates by Mike Chappell.
