-Artillery.
-Uniforms and Equipment.

-Gendarmerie.
-National Guard.
-Plaques (for grenadiers, belt buckles, courier brassards, etc.)
-Royalist troops.

@Maggie Scott It does now. You will note that it was edited 41 minutes ago - I posted my request to Kevin a little over an hour ago, and he has kindly complied. I have no issue with book posts - I have praised and thanked Tom many times for keeping people up to date in this way, and did the same in my comment to Kevin above. A title alone does not do much to inform users of anything other than the fact that a book of that title exists - I suspect we would be pleased to garner a little more information from the poster who has clearly taken the time to look into the book, and bring it to our attention.
