The 2 vol set written by Jean Louis Larcade in French. Volume One Infantry, Volume 2 Mounted Troops. These were published in 1983 and were the first serious and dependable (IMO) books available for 2 decades. Mine were purchased in 1991, when I started to collect and I had the Head of the French Dept at my school actually phone a book dealer in Paris and order them over the phone using his credit card. I can lissez en Francais but my conversation is sadly lacking! My next move when I received, them was to have the school Librarian cover them in plastic to protect the jackets. Jean Louis is no longer with us but his work is still quoted as a reference and lives on.
Mine obviously have been well used.....my apologies for the drool on vol 2! The only complaint I have on this set is that there was no index so you have to thumb through the pages to find what you want. Sorry no ISBN that I can find. 1983 price...240FF
I will be posting pics of other earlier volumes that we used back in the 90's soon. I would encourage other members to include a picture and ISBN # where possible.
