The First World War has been remembered in a series of 100 stunning colourised images from the global conflict.

New iconic pictures, which include a British soldier helping a wounded German prisoner, have been released to mark the end of the hostilities a century ago.

The original black and white photographs were painstakingly colourised by Tom Marshall from PhotograFix, who wanted to highlight lesser known stories and events.

Images also included King George V sitting next to an army commander, in Thiepval, France on the site where Thiepval Chateau once stood, a soldier receiving a haircut from an Alpine barber on the Albanian front and a group of Irish soldiers recuperating with nurses in 1917.




Mr Marshall said: ‘Since 2014 I have been very fortunate to have been able to work with some high profile clients around the world on exhibitions, press articles and books commemorating significant WW1 anniversaries, but I have also been honoured to work on clients personal family photos, which all have unique insights into what was truly the first global conflict.

Mr Marshall said he wanted to colourise the images in tribute to the men and women who lived through the war, and those who lost their lives.

An estimated nine million combatants and seven million civilians died as a direct result of World War I, which lasted from 28 July 1914 to 11 November 1918.

Mr Marshall urged people to make a donation to the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal, or to a local memorial appeal in your home country.

Mr Marshall’s WWI images can be found in the book Retrographic available on Amazon.
