Rejoining the army
Could a colonel in the British Army who had sold his commission rejoin at a later date? If so, would rank be preserved, or would initial time in the army have no relevance to later service?

Hi, could someone suggest me bibliogaphy for Bavarian army 1810 - 1863.
Hi, I am searching for information about Greek Army 1833 - 1863 when in Greece had king Otto and bavarian authority. According to Goverment's newspapers at that time Greek army addopted Bavarian Army's unifroms. A freand, in oreder to help me finding info, sent me Karl Miller's book "Die organisation sekleidung austrostung der konglish bayerrishen armee von 1806 bis 1906" with many useful uniforms details but from title is clear it is in German which I don't know. What am I asking is if could someone suggest me a book with bavarian army uniforms details such as Miller's or help me translete some pages from German to English. From Knoetel's draws can be seen the similarities between the two armies. Thanks for your time looking forward hearing any news. Stay healthy and safe, regards to all of you , Nikos

The following may be of help
Herbert Knotel, Herbert Knötel, Herbert Sieg (1980) Uniforms of the World: A Compendium of Army, Navy, and Air Force Uniforms, 1700-1937
Bavaria – pp173-189
Greece – pp 278-280
This is a translation of the Uniformkunde book. So, it does not have the colour drawings but is a discussion on uniforms. FYI a snippet version is on google https://books.google.co.za/books?id=mQYhAQAAIAAJ&q
Von Pivka, O (1980) Napoleon's German Allies 4 - Bavaria (Osprey MAA 106). Check ebay etc for 2nd hand copies
Funcken L & F (1973) The Napoleonic Wars. Part II. pp 60-63
