<p>On the eve of World War I, the British Empire was an incredible assemblage of ethnic groups, religions, and people. Spanning the globe and crossing every conceivable line that historically has divided the world, the Empire was a unique entity in a world of innocence that will never occur again.<br>The military and naval forces of the Empire were as varied and colorful as the Empire itself. Just the mention of random regimental names creates the image of exotic lands and times, as well as an indication of the scope and composition of the forces--The Sherwood Foresters, Royal Dublin Fusiliers, Lord Strathcona's Horse, Tasmanian Mounted Infantry, North Otago Rifles, 3rd South African Mounted Riflemen, 22nd Sam Browne's Cavalry, 2nd Queen Victoria's Own Rajput Light Infantry, 127th Queen Mary's Own Baluch Light Infantry, 2nd King Edward's Own Gurkha Rifles, Royal Malta Artillery, Somaliland Camel Corps, and Sarawak Rangers to name but a very few.<br>Forces of the British Empire--1914 is a masterful and colorful single-source guide to the units, uniforms, and badges of the period. It includes all regular, militia, and territorial regiments and formations in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and India, as well as all colonies and protectorates. Complete with over 380 color photographs using the "full dress" model figures of The Nevins Collection, and original drawings of regimental badges, the book is a must for historians and collectors.</p>
