audiobook Slavery Hinterland (People; Markets; Goods: Economies and Societies in History) by Felix Brahm in History

Description

In this first of a two-part sequence a respected vexillologist describes; explains and illustrates a wide variety of the standards and guidons carried during the 18th and 19th centuries by British Household; Regular; Yeomanry and Volunteer cavalry units. The successive regulations between 1747 and 1868 are supported by tables of 'ancient badges' and battle honours; by many examples of non-regulation practice (in the cavalier tradition of the British cavalry); and by ten dazzling plates by Richard Hook; detailing some 35 flags in full colour.
