Never before have actual battle uniforms, individual equipment and
weapons of the infantrymen of the great war been illustrated in such
authentic detail. Original surviving items, painstakingly assembled from
rare private and public collections, are illustrated in full color on
live models, just as they were worn in the battlefield. Each of these 31
soldiers: British, Belgian, French, German, Russian, Austrian, Italian,
America, is photographed from both front and back, with key diagrams,
and accompanied by a detailed commentary.
