It Was an Especially Terrible War

For John, BLUF:  And it didn't totally end on 11 November 2018.  It just wasn't as bad for a while.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Horror of the trenches never looked so real: Grim reality of WW1 is brought to life in 100 colourised images to mark centenary of guns falling silent

From The Daily Mail, by Mr Alexander Robertson.

Here is the quick background:

The original black and white photographs were painstakingly colourised by Tom Marshall of PhotograFix to mark the 100th anniversary of World War One ending, some of which are pictured here...

A horrible, botched job, leading directly to World Wasr II and the Cold War.  Tens of millions died, overall.

Thanks to the Veterans who fought, died, disappeared or were wounded in body or spirit, or just did their duty and showed up for duty, in combat or in training.
