Soldiers' Inventories

Coldstream Guardsman's equipment as carried at Waterloo, 1815 (http://thomatkinson.com/)

I found this via Slate Magazine. It's a series of photographs by the photographer Thom Atkinson of soldiers' equipent from 1066 to 2014. His website is http://thomatkinson.com/ and the pictures can be seen by clicking the last link in the right hand column.

The website is very sparse on commentary beyond the photo labels. There's more comment from this slideshow from the Telegraph, including annotation of every item in the pictures.

Fascinating stuff!

Knotel French Uniform Prints

I've copied a whole bunch of French uniform plates by Knotel from Alfons Canovas' wonderful blog and created a folder in my Google Drive account for handy reference. I've made it open access so that anyone who feels like having a squiz can do so if you click the link.

I'll also put a link in the sidebar under the wargaming resources heading.
