A rifle and face from the past-

[JBinIll]

Thanks JB, that's pretty amazing! I actually had to check to see if that sort of color photography even existed in 1916. It did. The process I found is called Autochrome Lumiere, which hit the market in 1907 and was apparently "the" way color photography was done until the mid-1930s. Looking at that photo sends a chill down my spine.

Do you know anything about that particular soldier? His rifle? His uniform? Are there other photos available?

There are two books available,The Lost Tommies and The Lost Diggers.Original pictures are B&W and not color.The books show them in the original B&WSome of them are IDed as to unit-
