The book covers all Gorgets, not just those of the Military Police type formations, but the coverage of Gorgets used by . Large format with with 704 pages and over 1.500 photographs . Not just the Gorgets themselves, but also the sleeve badges, cuffbands etc worn by those who used these Gorgets are covered. The quality of the photographs is superb.
