Following the Revolution in 1789; members of the aristocracy were increasingly persecuted; and many of them fled abroad. These exiles became known collectively as 'émigrés'; and despite initial confusions and indecision; many of them were taken into British service. This fine text by René Chartrand examines the organisation; uniforms and insignia of the Émigré troops in British service from 1793 to 1802; accompanied by plenty of illustrations including eight full page colour plates by Patrice Courcelle.
