Editorial Reviews

YA-- A book that has intricate drawings and detailed explanations of all facets of military life--clothing, utensils, medicine, food, weapons, shelter, etc. The drawings and lettering have strong visual appeal. The level of detail is exemplified by huts, constructed differently for officers and soldiers; by canteens--not one, but eight--each drawn differently. Serious students will find useful the list of locations of artifacts illustrated here. For homework or browsing pleasure, this is a title that will be enjoyed repeatedly by all ages. It's almost as good as a visit to a museum exhibit.-- Judy Sokoll, Fairfax County Public Library, VA
