Military Barracks by Trevor May

£4.50

Military barracks have played an important part in the social as well as the military history of Britain. They have served many purposes, being homes, training establishments and recruitment depots, and were meant to impress (and at times to overawe) the local population as well as foreign enemies. Some towns such as Aldershot and Colchester were almost defined by the barracks located within them. This book looks at the buildings themselves, from early times to the twentieth century, and describes the life led in the barracks by the soldiers (sailors) and their wives.
