Title: The End of an Era
Review: In August 1914, the British Army placed its full dress uniforms in storage. They were never to become general issue again. After the First World War, full dress was reissued to the Household Cavalry, the Foot Guard regiments, and the regimental bands. The rest of the army wore khaki service dress albeit smartened up a bit by regimental tailors. In his wonderful book, Their Glory Shall Not Be Blotted Out, the late Olaf Macleod brings the pre-1914 full dress back to life through his meticulous color plates showing the staff, Household troops, line cavalry, line infantry(fusiliers,light infantry, Rifle Regiments), Scottish regiments, Drum horses, and mascots. The color illustrations are complimented by notes on the uniforms illustrated. A veritable feast for the uniform enthusiast!
