The military photographs in family albums stand out as different and
distinctive and the sight of an ancestor in uniform stirs thoughts of
what he or she did and where they served. Neil Storey offers advice on
identifying military uniforms, badges, insignia, ranks, medals and the
equipment worn by our military ancestors. These items can provide a
wealth of information about the person or people in the photograph and
can lead to many new avenues of research. The book covers our Nation's
military history from the 1870's to the 1940's.
