The Military Institutions of the Romans[/hide].
As it is Clarke's Vegetius translation published by The Military Service Publishing Company in 1944 and as it contains the diagrams of the seven formations (p. 99-105), I think this is the book ValentianVictrix mentioned.

The 'Look Inside' facility does not extend as far as the illustrations but the text is identical in every respect, so I assume that these will be included. Be aware, however, that this is only an abridgement of the first three books. For a full modern translation, you will need Milner's version referred to by Adrian.
