“Military Dress and Uniformity, 1680–1720” by Brian Lyndon, published in the Journal of the Society for Army Historical Research (Vol. 54, No. 218, Summer 1976, pp. 108–120), examines the evolution of military uniforms and dress standards in late 17th- and early 18th-century European armies. Lyndon analyzes how uniform regulations, regimental distinctions, and functional considerations influenced the appearance and organization of troops. The article explores the relationship between uniformity, discipline, and battlefield efficiency, highlighting both practical and symbolic aspects of military dress. Using contemporary illustrations, regulations, and accounts, Lyndon provides insight into how uniforms shaped identity, cohesion, and command within early modern armies, offering a valuable resource for historians, collectors, and enthusiasts of military material culture.
