In this second of a two-part sequence a respected vexillologist describes; explains and illustrates a wide variety of the King's and Regimental colours carried during the 18th and 19th centuries by British Household; Regular; Militia and Volunteer infantry regiments. The successive regulations between 1747 and 1881 - when the carrying of colours in the field ceased - are supported by comprehensive tables of 'ancient badges' and battle honours; many careful drawings; and by ten dazzling plates by Richard Hook; detailing some 35 flags in full colour; as well as a number of famous colour-bearers.
