This fully illustrated volume includes the black and white plates of the officers’ uniforms published in April 1954, and shows how from 1943 to 1956, the high command and the units managed to transform a uniform which was dull by its very nature into a rather becoming and tasteful uniform inspired by the great tradition of the French Army.
