Just got a great new book to help me with my project - AWI British. It's "an illustrated encyclopedia of uniforms of the American war of independence 1775-1783" it's a fantastic book with loads of information along with over 600 colour illustrations. Thought I'd share it here in case anyone is in a similar situation to me new project/no knowledge of period.
Sounds like a really great find.
Amazon, £19.00. it's packed with information and 100's of colour plates of uniforms, a must I recon for anyone such as me doing a new period.
Will take a look at what's available. Thanks for that.
