Gale, Making of Modern Law

A full assembly of the c. 300 valuable colour maps, extracted from Sir John Fortescue’s celebrated History of the British Army, this is a work that to this day remains the greatest masterpiece in the field of military history/cartography, and is still featured on the required reading list of all students of history.
This is an extraordinarily impressive map collection that should be part of every serious military historian's library. These outstanding maps are gathered from both the text volumes and the separate oversized map volumes, making this a near-complete cartographic history of the British Army 1346–1868.
The maps are faithful to the originals in all respects, allowing the reader to follow the British Army’s wars and battles, campaigns and skirmishes during a 500-year period.
Sir John wrote his monumental work on the British Army between 1899 and 1930, starting it after leaving the post of Secretary to the Governor of the Windward Islands and during his work as librarian of Windsor Castle (1905–1926).

ROYAL ARMY SERVICE CORPS. A HISTORY OF TRANSPORT AND SUPPLY IN THE BRITISH ARMY Volume One

Beadon, Col R.H.

These two volumes comprise the first comprehensive history of the RASC, taking the story of that Corps from its earliest beginnings as the Royal Waggoners at the end of the 18th century to the end of the Great War. It is a history that is very rarely come across and this is the first time I have seen it or heard of it. The first volume is by the well known historian and author of the monumental History of the British Army, Sir John Fortescue, and he traces the course of Transport and Supply through the innumerable campaigns involving the British Army which he has described in his history of the British Army. Following a couple of introductory chapters providing a brief survey of the history of transport and supply from the earliest times, his story proper begins with the wars of the French Revolution and Empire from 1793 to 1815. It was in this period that the new Corps was formed and he describes its part in those wars, and in subsequent chapters he covers the period from Waterloo to the Crimea and the various small wars - Ashanti, China, Kaffir, Sikh, and then the Crimean War when it became the Land Transport Corps and the Military Train. The Army Service Corps was authorised under that title in November 1869 and the rest of the book is the record of the Corps up to the end of the S African War. There is a very useful appendix which provides a tabulated history of the Corps and its predecessors from 1794 to 1894, highlighting all the significant dates and events.The second volume is essentially concerned with the Great War with a lengthy introduction by John Fortescue followed by a detailed survey of the Corps' progress during the period from the end of the war in S Africa to the eve of the Great War. Then comes the detailed study of the activities of the Corps in that war and in every theatre of that war, including operations on the NW Frontier. This is a fine history and it is a salutary reminder that the history of the Corps is very much the history of the British Army.

ROYAL ARMY SERVICE CORPS. A HISTORY OF TRANSPORT AND SUPPLY IN THE BRITISH ARMY Volume Two

The Campaign of Waterloo is the complete account of the climatic campaign and battle of the Napoleonic Wars abstracted from Sir John Fortescue’s monumental A History of the British Army. Issued as an independent volume, The Campaign of Waterloo chronicles the events from Napoleon’s exile to Elba on 28 April 1814 to his departure from France on 15 July 1815 and exile on St Helena. Between those dates was the Campaign of Waterloo and the final, ferocious battle of 18 June 1815 which destroyed Napoleon’s power. Fortescue’s analytical approach, strips away the mysteries and complexities of the campaign to allow readers a clear understanding of this short but epoch-changing series of events. ‘The classic history’ Anthony Bruce, A Bibliography of the British Army
