This volume is undoubtedly well-researched and written... Although members of the general public may well find this dissertation about the Roman world in Great Britain of interest, the level of research and the language it contains means that its greatest users may be Teachers, Historians, Archaeologists and those with a specific interest in the Roman Empire and ancient Britain.

A thorough and first-rate work on an aspect of the war very few of us ever spare a thought for, let alone know anything about. This well written book gives a most fascinating insight into the logistical effort required to fight the war, from sourcing raw materials through to manufacture and supply. Together with first-hand accounts, and using official documents and archive records, the reader is drawn into the past to achieve a better understanding of their ancestors' uniforms and what it took to create and wear them.
[b]Highly recommended. 10/10[/b]
