Wonderful photos. These are the same mountains today, and there is still a lot of WW1 material up there.

He is a Granatiere di Sardegna (Grenadier of Sardinia); they were Elite troops, such as Grenadier Guards and Garde zu Fuss.  Both 1st and 2nd Grenadier Regimental Flags earned Gold Military Medal in the battle near Doberdò Lake in June 1917 (10th Battle of Isonzo river)

With orthochromatic film because of the part of the light spectrum it responds to, red and yellow are often rendered very dark.
