Colourizing these images brings a new focus to our understanding and appreciation of the role Canada played during the First World War. It makes the soldier in the muddy trench, the nurse in the field hospital, and those who waited for them at home come to life. Immediately, their expressions, mannerisms, and feelings are familiar. They become real. \u003ci\u003eThey Fought in Colour\u003c\/i\u003e is a new look at Canada's experience during the Great War. A more accessible look.

The texts too add much to this nation’s saga of mobilization, sacrifice, and victory. This book is one to pore over again and again. * — J.L. Granatstein, author of The Greatest Victory: Canada’s One Hundred Days, 1918 *\u003cbr\u003eScrawled in chalk on a rusty brick Toronto wall – \"Don't Forget Us.\" Five wounded Canadian soldiers, only one willing, or able to smile, sit beneath the graffiti. This is but one of the extraordinary glimpses of Canadians at home and at the front filled with the tones, tints, and hues of life and death during the First World War. The text and the photographs, in colour for the first time, educate and then haunt us; they are, in fact, quite unforgettable. * Linda Granfield, historian *\u003cbr\u003eThis book’s moving essays and vivid images blow dust from the pages of history. Together, they present an up-close, very personal and moving look at a war and a time that continue to shape Canada – and the world. * Anthony Wilson-Smith, Historica *\u003cbr\u003eThey Fought in Colour is a remarkable achievement, breathing new life into the black-and-white photographs that have, until now, shaped our understanding of the Great War. This incredible colourization project is truly a gift to all Canadians interested in our nation’s military history. * Mark Reid, Editor-in-Chief of Canada's History *\u003cbr\u003eTaking my three sons to Vimy on the 100th anniversary of the battle was one of the most meaningful experiences of all of our lives. It also occurred to us that had we been living in Canada 100 years earlier, my boys would have been soldiers, not tourists, and some or all of them might not have come home. Every generation needs to tell and re-tell the story of Canada’s important role in the First World War and this book does it in a brilliant and fresh way. * — Steve Paikin, anchor, The Agenda with Steve Paikin on TVO *\u003cbr\u003eThey Fought in Colour is an exciting and new look at Canada’s important role in the First World War.

Nous avons également réalisé que si nous avions vécu au Canada 100 ans plus tôt, mes garçons auraient été des soldats, et non des touristes, et que certains d'entre eux ne seraient peut-être pas rentrés à la maison. Chaque génération doit raconter et répéter l’histoire du rôle important du Canada pendant la Première Guerre mondiale.
