The military photographs in family albums stand out as different and distinctive and the sight of an ancestor in uniform stirs thoughts of what he or she did and where they served. Neil Storey offers advice on identifying military uniforms, badges, insignia, ranks, medals and the equipment worn by our military ancestors. These items can provide a wealth of information about the person or people in the photograph and can lead to many new avenues of research. The book covers our Nation's military history from the 1870's to the 1940's.
Reviews"For analyzing a photograph of someone in the military anywhere in the British Empire from 1865 to the 1940s, this book is a must."--Maureen Taylor, Providence, RI"National Genealogical Society Quarterly" (06/01/2013)
