Hi David,

Sounds a brilliant book. I tried the telephone number, this has changed now to: 0113 2765928.

Now replacing all buttons with wooden ones as discussed.

All the best,
Robert

I have updated the telephone number on my copy. I will show the unit commanders at the next meeting and see if the regiment wants to buy some more copies.

Have a great Christmas.

David

guys, yes nice book as a basis but
in my edition there are several errrors in that, especially concerning given dimensions like the giberne and the shape and size of shakoplates for instance...

also the depiction of roller buckles on equipment, these are post napoleonic.

Also the drawings of the patterns espaecially the greatcoat, is not readily useable as a pattern.

i discussed these among other things with the author at Kellmarsh event 2006 but

I don't believe that there was an update so be critivcal in using the details.

Perhaps keith shouldgo through it first.

Hello All,

Well I ordered mine, talked to a lady on the telephone, sent the cheque and the cheque was debited, but no sign of my book and that was over 3 months ago now!

Not a happy bunny.

I have to say that you are quite right Sebastian that the book does contain errors but atleast it is a starting off point for new recruits. I understand that keith will give details of itmes of clothing on the web site but of course all these things take time, espcially if you are a unhappy bunny!
