Images of Aldershot

Description

For a town with a modest population (it has remained fairly constant around the 35,000 mark for well over a hundred years), its fame has spread to all four corners of the globe in a way that no other comparable town can match. In short,wherever the British Army set up camp, wherever the map was coloured British Empire red, the influence of the barracks and the training grounds in Aldershot was there behind the scenes. The pictures in this book inevitably reflect the influence of the army, but they are also the record of the changing face of what was essentially a Victorian New Town.
