    Many are clearly staged, but an interesting collection, just the same. Thanks for the link.

    Yes, they are obviously propaganda shots showing the army only in a good light. And there is a suggestion that some, or all, of them may have been coloured by retouching.

    Still, they do apparently depict real soldiers and weapons, and are part of the historical record.

    Thanks for the salute!
