The Military Institutions of the Romans

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.
I have an edition published by Stackpole Books in 1960 and reprinted in 1965 which is identical to this. A more recent reprint by Greenwood Books is available:

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.
