Perhaps some of you at least are interested in the army of Napoleon III and his wars I want to spread an announcement of a new two-volume book about the uniforms and the equipment of the armies of 1870-71.

That's also the reason why I couldn't publish a lot during the last half year as I'm wholly occupied doing research and writing down the chapters about the uniforms of the German armies. But I'm really happy, that on the "other side", a very well-known author covers the French Army, I'm sure that some of you know Louis Delpérier who wrote a lot of articles and books about the French armies of 1840-1880.

I add the editor's announcement to this post and in case you're interested you may contact me via this board.

... and next year I'll come back to the Napoleonics
