Chartrand, Rene Louis XV's Army (5) : Colonial and Naval Troops , Oxford: Osprey Publishing, 1998.

Illustrated by Eugene Leliepvre. Large Format Paperback. Fine. Sm 4to 1855327090 Colour & b/w illustrations. Men-at-Arms 313. In 1715 France had a sizeable overseas empire in America, Africa and Asia, its colonies garrisoned by thousands of regular officers and soldiers who belonged to the Navy's colonial establishment or by the French East India Company's troops. Though these troops are not usually covered in histories of the French forces, since the end of the 17th century, they saw considerable action against the enemy overseas. This last volume in a series of five (Men-at-Arms 296, 302, 304, 308 and 313) details the uniforms, arms and accoutrements of Louis XV's colonial and naval troops. The text is accompanied by numerous photographs and illustrations, including eight full colour plates. (Book ref. 124796)  £45.00
