Wee Warriors & Playtime Patriots engages the reader in a
fascinating history of children's military-inspired fashions -
handmade and commercially made replica uniforms, equipage, and toys
dating from 1860-1976. An extensive collection of photographs features
children in military dress from countries around the world. These
touching images of a never-before-chronicled military collectibles
field will mesmerize readers. Also included are dozens of nostalgic
catalog pages from Sears Roebuck & Co., and Montgomery Ward
touting commercially made children's uniforms that date as far back as
1918. Wee Warriors & Playtime Patriots fills a major gap in the
study of nineteenth and twentieth century military clothing styles and
is a must, not only for military and patriotic enthusiasts, but for
anyone interested in a bit of thought-provoking history.
