Bemerkung:
Sehr genaue und detailreich Abbildung der verschiedenen Schutz- und Angriffswaffen. William Reid (1926 – 2014) was a Scottish military historian, educated at Eastwood School. He read astronomy at Trinity College, University of Oxford, but left before graduation for military service. He began to study accountancy in Glasgow but abandoned that after a crash on his motorcycle left him in hospital. There he returned to his childhood interest in arms and armaments and corresponded internationally with experts in the subject. Jack Scott at the Glasgow Art Gallery and Museum arranged for Reid to catalogue the armour collection of Lord Howard de Walden at Kilmarnock. Reid obtained employment with Accles & Pollock in Birmingham, a supplier of archery equipment, and in 1956 as a junior curator at the Tower of London. In London studied palaeography and heraldry at the University of London. He became an assistant keeper in 1965 and a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries the same year. Reid became director of the National Army Museum in 1970, a position he held for 17 years. He became CBE- Commander of the Order of the British Empire - in 1987.
