Found this on another message board, and thought my fellow Freepers would enjoy the history.
From the site: "The color photo was invented in 1903 by the Lumiere brothers, and the French army was the only one taking color photos during the course of the war."

Interesting photos.
Some early tv programs during the b/w days used color film because it didn't cost any more than b/w film. Later, when colored TV became commonplace, those old programs seemed ahead of the curve by showing up in color.

Why did the French army bother with color photographs? A white flag is a white flag in color or black and white...

Very high qualiy and vivid images for such an early period in photography.
Amazing to think that all of those folks in those photos are dead now.

If you'll check, I believe you'll find that the French won that war. It was their finest hour.

Once you get past the clothes, these photos could have been taken in France yesterday.
Of course, if they were taken yesterday, there would be a lot fewer white people in the pictures.
