Military Vehicles in Preservation

Explore some fascinating photographs documenting a variety of military vehicles in preservation since 1960s. ''The author''s lifelong interest in military vehicles shines through in this book.'' ''They appear at shows, living history events and commemorative displays, offering the public an opportunity to engage with history, up close. This is not just about nostalgia or admiration for machinery, but about preserving the legacy of military engineering, honouring those who designed, built and operated these vehicles, ensuring their stories can continue to be told.''

Whenever people are asked about military vehicles, the first things that usually come to mind are jeeps and tanks. Although those vehicles did make up the majority of vehicles used by armies across the world, they are only part of a much larger and wider ranging selection. These include trucks, transporters, tracked vehicles, armoured personnel carriers and heavy artillery guns.

The preservation of military vehicles movement began in the UK in the 1960s and has continued to gain momentum ever since. Now, many vehicles live out their days in the hands of preservationists, who take them to events and shows around the country.

In this book, Royston Morris presents a wealth of full-colour images and informative captions to showcase the variety of vehicles regularly on display.
