Soldiers' Accoutrements of the British Army 1750-1900
Pierre Turner became interested in historic army uniforms as a child. When he became a full-time illustrator thirty years ago he was surprised to find that nothing was known about soldiers' accoutrements, even though there were plenty of reference books on weapons, badges and medals.  So he began a search for surviving items to make sure that what he drew was accurate and this quickly became an absorbing interest on its own. He lives in Devon, England.
