Blurb reads:
Until quite recently the metal shoulder title was an unconsidered trifle in the world of militia. Collectors of cap badges and other insignia would put them aside and happily give them away to anyone who did collect them. All that has changed now and shoulder titles have become very much collectors' items in their own right.
'Collecting Metal Shoulder Titles' is the first comprehensive guide to this fast-growing hobby. In it Ray Westlake gives details of the titles worn by over 1200 unit of the British Army, supplemented by photographs of over 1800 titles. In addition to this is given the lineage of every unit, an invaluable guide which will make this book an essential work of reference for all military historians for years to come, whether they be collectors of shoulder titles or not.
Ray Westlake is well fitted for this task. He has one of the finest collections of British shoulder titles in the world and is considered to be the leading authority on the subject. He is a member of The Royal United Services and Assistant Secretary of the Military Historical Society
