notre PATRIMOINE photo colorisé...

http://www.worldwaronecolorphotos.com/index.html

World War I.... who would have thought there were original color photos of WWI? This site contains hundreds of photos taken by the French in the last two years of World War One.

.....Extraits.....

From reader Paul Jackson in the UK: "The Troupes de Marine have a maritime heritage and their badge is a fouled anchor. They are now incoporated into the army. They apparently still have a particular role now in being soley deployed for overseas operations and, when France was a colonial power, were often regarded as a colonial force. In WW1 many of the Senagalese and other colonial troops were in the Troupes de marine.They fought with incredible valour and great sacrifice." Paul provided the following link for more examples: Mémorial Virtuel du Chemin des Dames
