Doctors would use masks to cover areas near the eye for those severely injured in the war. The eyeglasses this man is wearing aren't meant to improve his vision but to hold the mask in place. The picture on the left shows what the man looks like without his mask post-surgery.

Neil Armstrong and Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin become the first humans to land on another celestial body. (July, 1969)

The [_Commodore Vanderbilt_] was a streamlined version of the venerable Class J1-E 4-6-4 Hudson locomotive that ran on the New York Central System.

The first of its kind to be modified for streamlining on the New York Central, it was christened in 1934 and pulled the [_Empire State Express_] for the duration of its career. Two more locomotives were streamlined in its pattern, designed by Karl F. Cantola. Later streamlined engines on the system would take after the pattern designed by Henry Dreyfuss.

Sadly, none of the Hudsons survive today. All were scrapped by 1954

French Cavalry at The Battle of the Somme

French cavalry crossing a swollen stream on the front lines of the Battle of the Somme.

I have not been able to find out if they are simply manoeuvring to a new position or are carrying out an assault against German Positions.

British Machine Gun Crew at The Battle of the Somme

The troops in this photo are wearing PH Helmets, or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH_helmet">Gas Hoods</a>, which were an early precursor to the more familiar <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_box_respirator">Small Box Respirator</a>, which was introduced in 1916.

British troops assaulting German Positions, allegedly at the Somme, although could be Battle of Loos (See Notes)

So, you may all be wondering why these British Troops are all in blue instead of the usual khaki.

I've been trying to work this out for the last hour or so and I've come up with two possibilities:

1. This image has been mislabelled and actually took place in the Battle of Loos, where members of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitchener%27s_Army">the New Army</a> had to where blue uniforms due to a shortage of khaki dye.

2. They were a detachment of Royal Navy Marines which fought in <a href="https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/news-and-latest-activity/news/2016/november/14/161114-somme">the closing days of the battle</a>.

Verdun Re-enactment, Verdun von/de Léon Poirier (1928)

Edit:

So whilst carrying out research on some of the other images, I found out that this image is actually from a film shot in 1928, where veterans of the battle carried out a re-enactment of the battle of Verdun on the original fields and forts where the real battle took place.

The film can be found below:

I think this may have been a private commision, as Doug Banks only has a <a href="http://www.colourisehistory.com/colourised-photos/ww1-british-mk-iv-tank-part-colourisation-to-order/">partly finished photo</a> in his gallery.
