This is a guide both to the history of the British fighting man and to museums, galleries and sites of special interest. It explains the changing life and experience of the everyday soldier, exploring regional characteristics that evolved into individual regiments and charting the soldier's progress through major campaigns and wars. The author also offers insights into the private life of the military man, one which was often filled with great physical hardship and neglect. The text is complemented by a gazetteer which documents relevant places of interest for the tourist.
