Service Publications
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Service Publications is a Canadian publishing company specializing in the study and documentation of Canadian military history. Founded in 1995 by author, historian, and military officer Clive M. Law (1954–2017), the company has developed a distinct niche in producing and distributing reference works related to the uniforms, weapons, vehicles, insignia, and equipment of the Canadian armed forces.
Operating from Ontario, Service Publications publishes both its own original titles and selected works from other military publishers, serving historians, collectors, researchers, and museums with highly detailed articles.
The Weapons of War series consists of inexpensive pamphlet-style booklets highlighting military vehicles, weapons, and artillery used by Canadian forces throughout the 20th century. Each volume typically examines one weapon system or vehicle type, such as the Bren Gun Carrier, Canadian Sherman Tank, or PIAT Anti-Tank Projector and provides a concise overview of its design, service history, and Canadian modifications. The series serves as an introductory guide for enthusiasts while maintaining technical accuracy.
