    Exceptionally high-resolution photos, not just because they are in color. Thanks for sharing them!

                Battle of Verdun in Colour

                The French Army was the only one to take colour photographs in WWI.

                    Wow, that's really cool. When did color photography first come into widespread use?

                        The first 'practical' use of colour plates came about with the Lumiere brothers invention of Autochrome plates in 1904, commercially useable in 1907.

                            Fabulous.

                            Parihaka,

                            An excellent find.

                            It is 0311 here or 3.11 AM and I was totally lost to the world and time seeing the pictures.

                            I wish one could get all these pictures on a CD to buy.

                            I don't have to attend every argument I'm invited to.
