John William Fortescue wrote the Series 'A History of the British Army' across volumes I - XIII with the confusion of IV being in 2 parts (making 14 volumes) and various editions producing separate map books with these.

see http://fortescue-british-army-history... for an example

Unfortunately the Goodreads series is hopelessly messed up with missing volumes (no book 2, 11 or 13) , volumes in the wrong place (13 maps in with 12).

There is at least one other entry for a book trying to cover the whole series

Also there are many entries of books that are editions of volumes of this series not linked to the series.

Could the whole series please be tidied up including combining many misc editions under each correct single volume within the series

Many thanks to whoever undertakes this messy task

best regards

I've done as much work on this as I think I can do. I've combined most of the relevant editions. I'm not sure where to place the books of maps in the series order.

Thanks - looking much better and also an intelligent choice to place the maps in the series as separate books under the same number.

However still seems to be a problem with book 7 and 8. The history for both these volumes seem to be combined into volume 7 and only the map book separated out into book 8.
thanks again
Rob

I must have accidentally combined those. If you're sleepy VII starts to look like VIII. That should be fixed now.

You've done a great job - really appreciate the tidy up.
It just so happened that the volume I was reading that prompted the original request was VII :)

Thanks again
