British Army 2000
Not a bad book if you don't need a quick reference book but want some nice stories and pictures.
The format is all over the place as you may be able to see with the scanned images, no real standardization or easy reference to such details as the regiments former titles, most of which are hidden within the body of the text.
Also don't expect any detailed information on the badges.
The illustrations of the badges are so small and placed so close to the page gutter that it's just about impossible to see them in any detail.
It seems that each regiment has had a different author doing their own thing. This gives the impression of a book that's being put together by a committee that's not quite sure of what should or should not be included.
Other's love it and are sure to disagree with me, I'm afraid that I found it to be a little disappointing.
Could have done much better.
