Book
They fought in colour : a new look at Canada's First World War effort / with Paul Gross & Peter Mansbridge = La guerre en couleur : nouveau regard sur le Canada dans la Première Guerre mondiale / avec Paul Gross & Peter Mansbridge.
"Picture the First World War as if you were there: in living colour and immersive detail. Even for such a richly documented time, the era is usually obscured behind grainy black-and-white photography. They Fought in Colour is a photographic exploration of Canada's First World War experience, presented for the first time in full, vibrant colour, with essays by some of our country's leading public figures. Explore life on the front lines, the huge support network needed to maintain the Canadian Expeditionary Force, and events on the home front in Canada, during the war that shaped the events of the twentieth century and continues to be present in our lives today."-- Provided by publisher.

Iconic photos from the First World War, newly colourized.
See seminal images of Canadaâs First World War experience in a new light â offered in full colour for the first time â with contributions from Margaret Atwood, Tim, Cook, Charlotte Gray, Paul Gross, Peter Mansbridge, and many others.
Canadians today see the First World War largely through black and white photography. Colourizing these images brings a new focus to our understanding and appreciation of the role Canada played during the First World War. It makes the soldier in the muddy trench, the nurse in the field hospital, and those who waited for them at home come to life. Immediately, their expressions, mannerisms, and feelings are familiar. They become real. They Fought in Colour is a new look at Canadaâs experience during the Great War. A more accessible look. A more contemporary look. - Univ of Toronto Pr
