Color Film from World War I

This is one of several videos of World War 1 in color that I found on YouTube. It was an eerie feeling watching the artillery scenes. My father fought in WW1 in the US Army artillery. He had significant loss of hearing in one ear from the big bangs and also had been gassed.

With the recent death of the last living American veteran of WW1 there are now only two known surviving veterans of that conflict, each 110 years old.
