Official synopsis Publisher
The National Army Museum records the development and influence of war as experienced by one nation, Britain, but the Museum is much more than a than a catalogue of battles and campaigns. It tells the story of how men and women have lived, worked and died defending their country’s interests; how soldiers were clothed, fed, paid and disciplined; what civilians thought of the Army and those who joined it and how soldiers themselves viewed their lifestyle and the duties it imposed. This souvenir guide draws on the objects in our collections and provides an introduction to the History of the British Army which we hope you will enjoy.
