The Sardinian-Piedmontese Army in the War of the Austrian Succession 1740-1748

The Sardinian-Piedmontese Army in the War of the Austrian Succession, 1740–1748 is a comprehensive and fully illustrated study of the army’s uniforms, colours, standards, and equipment during the conflict.

The background to the conflict, the organisation, the principal commanders, regimental details, and their principal engagements are all covered. The study includes details and illustrations of the principal artillery equipment. The militias and other lesser-known units are also examined. All known musicians’ liveries, including drummers, trumpeters, fifers, and a kettle drummer, are also illustrated in full colour.

"The Sardinian-Piedmontese Army in the War of the Austrian Succession is a well-crafted and richly illustrated contribution to mid-eighteenth-century military reference materiel. Highly recommended, especially for readers who, like me, love to see the nuts and bolts of an army as much as the grand manoeuvres. The book also fills a gap. The Sardinian-Piedmontese force in this conflict has been comparatively underexplored and David Wilson’s superb book helps correct that balance." carryingsonupthedale blog
