Military Consultancy
The
20th Century was a period of almost continual warfare,
with the First World War and Second World War as the
most important conflicts. The British, American and
European publics are always fascinated by war and
it continues to be an important subject for books,
films, theatrical productions and television.
Nigel Thomas Associates can:
- Advise film and television production motion picture
and documentary makers and theatrical costumiers
on the authentic uniform and badges for army, navy,
air force and police personnel for Great Britain,
Europe and the USA since 1900.
- Give accurate background information on the people
wearing these uniforms and the units they served
in, in order to build up a credible profile and
make these characters come to life.
- Identify any period photographs or film footage
showing men (and women) in uniform to ensure that
documentaries are accurate.
