Hi all,
Does anyone know of any good web sites for the Franco Prussian war, battles, uniforms stuff like that?
Thanks Gary
There are some awesome uniform links that were posted a while back, I'm sure someone can find them - tooooo hungover from the works do!
Quick search brings up:

Osprey books are a good starting reference, I also use a book called 'Battledress' by Schick

Good luck! I'll be back later after a lie down!
*EDIT* FOUND the link I was after! These are superb contemporary plates
