The Edwardians - The Soldiers Tale

As part of the Edwardian Season we have the Edwardians in Colour: The Wonderful World of Albert Kahn, in this series we have just had the WW1 in Colour. The Soldiers Tale was one of the best history shows VIEWS has seen in years. The Colour pictures of the French Soldiers showed what they had to put up with over four years, no wonder there was a mutiny. WW1 in Colour brings the suffering more to life in some respects, black and white creates a distance, but colour is different, it is closer to your reality. A reality that makes you want peace around the world in all time periods.
