All four specialist elements; artillery, engineers, transport and comissariart are covered, from the close-knit and justifiably proud Royal Artillery Corps to the Corps of Royal Engineers, which was composed exclusively of highly trained officers. This fascinating volume also ontains a wealth of illustrations including eight full page full colour plates by Bryan Fosten.
