EToday, one hundred years after the end of the First World War, black-and-white images of the horrors of the Western Front still have the power to shock.
But the terror endured by those who have given everything has been redefined and reinforced by a collection of recently colored conflict photographs.
The series of 100 images, whose colors give the impression that the conflict ended yesterday, was painstakingly done to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the armistice.
Among the photographs is a wounded German prisoner of war, both blindfolded, a British tommy gently guiding along a railway line in 1916, a French soldier behind them weighed down by the tripod of an old photographic camera .
Another shows gunners of the Royal Garrison Artillery pushing a railway truck filled with shells and British officers in front of the mouth of a German trench in Messines, Belgium, after its capture in 1917.
Other, equally striking images, show King George V sitting next to an army commander on the site where Thiepval Castle was located before its destruction during fierce fighting in September 1916, as Albanian Front.
