British & Commonwealth Military Badge Forum

I just received my copy from Bill when he was in Ottawa last weekend visiting family, and his 10-year labour of love Fabric of War did not disappoint. A book on Canadian cloth shoulder badges with this type of scolarly content has long been overdue and will go far to dispell the many myths and rumours associated with this insignia type. A must have in the library of either the casual or serious collector, purchasing this book is not only an investment in knowledge but will save money in the long-run as each of the various badges are fully described and illustrated thus elininating the need to figure out what era a particular badge is from.

For over two decades collector driven archival research into material culture has been increasing our knowledge base uniforms and equipment and now this insignia book has set a new standard for how the research should be documented.
