The British military forces during the long reign of George II (1727-1760) were greatly expanded and involved in two major international conflicts: the War of the Austrian Succession and the Seven Years War. Gabriele Esposito provides a detailed overview of the history, organization, and uniforms of these forces, including the regular cavalry and infantry, artillery and Royal Engineers, Corps of Invalids, Fencibles, naval infantry, auxiliary corps, and colonial forces deployed in the Thirteen Colonies of North America, the Caribbean, and the military contingents of the East India Company.

Gabriele Esposito presents a comprehensive account of the history, organization, and uniforms of the British military forces during the reign of George II (1727-1760), a period marked by significant expansion and involvement in two major international conflicts: the War of the Austrian Succession and the Seven Years War. The Seven Years War, in particular, was a global conflict that encompassed the French and Indian wars in the Americas, as well as conflicts in India and other regions. Despite limited success in Europe, Great Britain successfully expelled the French from Canada and India by 1760. The author provides a detailed examination of the various components of the British military, including the regular cavalry and infantry, artillery and Royal Engineers, Corps of Invalids, Fencibles, naval infantry, auxiliary corps, and colonial forces deployed in the Thirteen Colonies of North America, the Caribbean, and the military contingents of the East India Company. The book is richly illustrated with color illustrations from "The Cloathing Book" commissioned by the Duke of Cumberland in 1742 and oil paintings by David Morier preserved in the Royal Collections.
