Rare colour photos of World War I discovered

Photographer Anton Orlov recently discovered over 600 colour images from World War I on "Magic Lantern" slides in a house in Northern California.

Utter devastation
The images depict snow-covered villages, train tracks, bullet-riddled buildings, and soldiers in trenches, by houses and on trains. The pictures were taken in Russia, China and Japan. The slides were hand-coloured and the colorus have been preserved wonderfully.
