Michael Barthorp was educated at Wellington College and was commissioned into the Rifle Brigade in 1946. Demobilised in 1948, he served as a Territorial with The Royal Hampshire Regiment before rejoining the Regular Army in The Northamptonshire Regiment to continue a family tradition, ending his career with the Royal Anglian Regiment in 1968. He went on to write numerous books on the British Army history and costume, including nine titles for the Men-at-Arms series. He lived in Jersey, Channel Islands. DOUGLAS N. ANDERSON volunteered straight from school in 1945 and was commissioned into the Highland Light Infantry; he served mainly in the Middle East. He graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 1952, and freelanced for many years as a fashion artist and illustrator while retaining his military interests. He now specialises in military, historic and Highland dress. He has illustrated a number of books including several in collaboration with Michael Barthorp, his most recent for Osprey being MAA 268, The British Troops in the Indian Mutiny. A widower with two daughters, Douglas Anderson lives and works in Scotland.
