This second volume in the Uniforms and Equipment of the Imperial German Army 1900-1918: A Study in Period Photographs series, contains over 500 never before published photographic images of the Imperial German military forces. Contained in this volume are photographs of: machine gun troops and their equipment; assault troops with grenades and their specialized equipment; the M1895 blue uniform; minenwerfers and crews; steel combat helmets; decorative steins, pipes and patriotic items; telegraph and signal troops; field artillery troops and their personal equipment; kraftfahrer and vehicles; Model 1915 ersatz pickelhauben; cavalry, including Dragoons, Bavarian Chavauleger, Jäger zu Pferde, Ulans, Kürassiere, and Husaren; eisenbahn troops; flak anti-Aircraft artillery; Imperial Air Service; commissary; heavy artillery guns; horses and pets; and, finally, pickelhauben in detail. The color section features the M1915 uniform illustrations by Paul Casberg, which originally appeared in the 1916 volume by Moritz Ruhl Verlag, Die Deutsche Armee in ihren neuen Feld-und Friedens-Uniformen. Each photograph and caption has been carefully researched affording the reader much information not to be found elsewhere, plus the inclusion of a glossary and an annotated bibliography which make this volume essential for the serious military historian, collector and World War I re-enactor.

The author served four years in the United States Air Force during the Korean War and has been an active military collector and historian since a boy. He was a past editor of the Cross and Cockade Journal of World War I Aero Historians, is the Curator of the Vermont Veterans and Militia Museum, and serves on the Committee of Management of the Anne S.K. Brown Military Collection, Brown University. He is a member of the Company of Military Historians, the League of World War I Aviation Historiansm and many other arms and militaria collecting groups. In his retirement, he continues active collecting and, with the assistance of his wife Nancy, writes books on military matters. On the non-military side, he restores and drives antique cars and enjoys classic boats on the coast of Maine.
