Importantly the core of the book is drawn from the unrivalled collection and associated paperwork held by the Imperial War Museum which they gathered direct from units during and immediately after the First World War, and well before the collectors market was swamped by fakes in the 1960s and beyond. This is the go-to reference for those trying to identify badges on old family photographs, collectors identifying what they have or might want, re-enactors who want to get their uniforms just right, historians and of course modellers who want to paint figures for specific units.
