Me too!!! I’m lucky to be French, just like J-L Larcade and Didier Lainé.
The Larcade is extraordinary in its coverage of the distinctive features of the regiments and the links between the active and Reserve-Landwehr regiments in relation to the active regiment to which they were attached. It also explains the coats of arms of the Land in relation to the reigning sovereign. You won’t find this in any other book.
Lainé’s book is a useful complement; it is a catalogue that reviews helmets, insignia, front plates, shoulder tabs, Busch caps, cockades, etc.
Thank you, Sir Lainé and Larcade, for your incredible work.
