The Armies of the French Revolution
I think I will get this.
The Revolutionary period was marked by upheaval for France and its army. The early Republic's military comprised former Royal Army members and revolutionary volunteers, reflecting diversity in their uniforms. Despite the chaos, records were meticulously maintained, and Paul L. Dawson examined thousands of documents from the Service Historique Armée du Terre in Paris to detail the uniforms worn before Napoleon's rise. Soldiers' clothing followed strict regulations, with each item assigned a specific lifespan. Regular inspections assessed uniform conditions, and unserviceable items were returned and replaced. Repairs were logged, and soldiers bore the costs of replacements. A regiment's clothing officer managed equipment purchases for enlisted men, while officers supplied their own uniforms. The regimental council ensured purchases met quality standards, recorded in a Register of Uniforms. Inspection returns and registers provide unprecedented insights into Revolutionary army uniforms, much of which was previously unpublished. Though not all regiments' data were found, Dawson's research offers the most accurate depiction to date. His book combines detailed records with illustrations and photographs of rare surviving items, giving readers a unique visual and historical perspective on soldiers' appearances during this transformative era.Wednesday, 19 March 2025

New! French Revolution range!
Alan has been busy on many ranges recently but this the first release for a new period (if you don't count the the French in Egypt!). The first batch is of course Line Infantry, march attack. These will be followed by Light Infantry. This is first small start of what will probably be a fairly hefty range! It will probably spill over into the Consulate Period in time.
