Louis XV's Army (4)
Light Troops and Specialists
Description
The emergence of light troops at the time of Louis XV's reign is a sign of the search for better intelligence of the enemy and rapid tactical moves on battlefields.
This fourth instalment of René Chartrand's review of Louis XV's army reveals an extraordinary variety of units, most now long forgotten, who had a dazzling assortment of uniforms, equipment and weapons. This interesting text features numerous accompanying illustrations, which include eight full page colour plates by Eugène Lelièpvre.
