BRAVO ZULU !!
Have just finished Bill's book, and all I can say is "Outstanding!" Well done that man!
For all and sundry, I predict that this book is destined to be the go-to reference for Canadian shoulder titles for years to come. Well researched as shown by the copious amount of footnotes to Library & Archives Canada sources.
This book is a monster.....8 1/2 x 11, hardcovered, just over 500 pages with a ton of coloured pictures of the Canadian Army's shoulder titles, some showing the different varieties of the same badge. Tips the scale at 4.8 Lb (2.2 kg).
It is expensive, but speaking personally, I think it is worth every penny.
Once again Bill, all I can say is congratulations on all your work and research.
Ian
