Terry Denham Posted 17 August , 2003 Share Posted 17 August , 2003 Today's Sunday Times Magazine (Aug 17) has an article containing several colour photos from WW1 which were produced by the first commercial process available. The pics are mainly of French & colonial troops. The article promotes a new book by Hew Strachan (The First World War) and a new Channel 4 TV series (The First World War) starting Sept 20.

In fact, having found a link using Google, could someone copy the article to here, as you have to pay to see the Magazine section if you are overseas.

CROONAERT Posted 18 August , 2003 Share Posted 18 August , 2003 Copying the article would be a breach of copyright. ...However, I obtained this photograph (which is one of the ones used in the article) from a seperate source. (It's number 3 on the above list). I've got one or two others, not shown in the article, (somewhere) that I could post if anyone's interested. Dave.

gem22 Posted 18 August , 2003 Share Posted 18 August , 2003 Terry You mentioned Hew Strachan's new book. Do you have the title? Is it the second part of his trilogy? Thanks Garth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Denham Posted 18 August , 2003 Author Share Posted 18 August , 2003 It is not a part of the trilogy. It is entitled simply "The First World War" and is produced to accompany the TV series of the same rather basic name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
