Bob Grundy Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Written by a Lucy Crossley who does not know what she is writing about. "...the German foe who had the best and latest military hardware and clothing available". 1908 Mills webbing superior in every way and still used in the early part of the Second World War, a rifle that has twice as many rounds in the magazine, ten instead of five. This is what we are getting now in the media as 2014 is nearly upon us, a hotch potch of journalists who are pontificating about a world event of which they have no comprehension. However I do intend to read this book, BTW the photo in the dugout would not have been taken in colour at the time, it has been colourised, but we are not told this......

Enigma Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Real colour photography did allready exist in 1914, however very sparcely. It needed a lot of light so colouring a b&w is very plausible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
