World War 1 Highlanders in Color!

[79thReproductions]

I am a member of a wonderful WW1 Forum. Recently there was a thread about colorized images of WW1 soldiers which of course, had Highlanders in it. These images are NOT my work. These images were colorized by Chris Foster (Chris CPGW), a forum member a

These images are from photograph collections. If any of these images are yours and do not wish to have them posted on another form besides Great War Forum, let me know and they will come down ASAP

It is coming up to Rememberance Day and I can't look at pictures like the ones above without wondering how many of them did not return home,or returned home broken.All too many, is of course, the answer.

"Lest we forget".

I'm sure that the gent who did these is a member here as I've seen a few of them before. I do not think he has been here for a while though. Thank you so much for posting them again, especially as Jock says coming up to Remembrance Day.

What tremendous photos. thanks.

I was reminded of how young real warriors always are. I sometimes forget just how young was I and my comrades when we were uniformed until I see pictures like these and then one of myself like the one JolySTNicholas posted, and I recall.

It is always both bittersweet and poignant.
