August 1424. After an hour of fierce fighting, twelve thousand combatants lay strewn across the plain a few hundred metres from the small Norman town. The Lombard-Hispanic-Scots-French army, commanded by Archibald Douglas, newly created Duke of Touraine and in the service of Charles VII, had just suffered a terrible reverse at the hands of the English host of the Duke of Bedford, regent of France for King Henry VI. This work retraces the three years during which several thousand men-at-arms came from Scotland to secure the surprising victory of Baugé and to suffer two terrible defeats at Cravant and Verneuil. Verneuil, sometimes called the second Agincourt, is one of the bloodiest battles of the Hundred Years' War; it marks the end of the massive Scottish engagement on the Continent in that conflict.

The uniform button is something of the poor relation of militaria collecting. Small and highly varied, the enthusiast generally seeks it out only to complete a uniform. Yet it constitutes in its own right a fully-fledged collecting theme. More than a century after the publication of Captain Falloux's work, « Le bouton d'uniforme français », a gap remained...

Alongside the III. Reich during the Second World War, Hungary developed a military industry that was far from negligible, so much so that Berlin found in it an ally it did not need to arm significantly! Thus, the Toldi and Turán tanks, the 40.M Nimród and 43.M Zrínyi II self-propelled guns, and the 39.M Csaba armoured cars would form the spearhead of the...
