    WW1 “Christmas Truce” in photos

    December 11, 2014 /

    To commemorate 100 years since the incredible Christmas Truce, The Open University have searched through the IWM archives to find examples showing the impact of football during WW1. December 2014 marks 100 years since the “Christmas Truce” of World War 1.

    WW1 Photographs in Colour

    August 1, 2014 /

    2014 marks 100 years since the beginning of World War 1. To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of war, The Open University has enlisted the help of a photograph restoration expert, to ‘colourise’ some of the unique and interesting photos that were taken during the time. Although the original images were only available in black and white, colour has been added retrospectively to help bring them to life. Here are some of the results (click here to view more on the Open University website) 1. A trench on the Albanian front in 1918. A soldier receives a hair cut from an Alpine barber.
