Although color photography was around prior to 1903, the Lumière brothers, Auguste and Louis, patented the process in 1903 and developed the first color film in 1907.  The French army was the primary source of color photos during the course of World War One.

Destroyed fruit trees

Destroyed fruit trees

Bucy-le-Long, fruit trees sawed by Germans. Soldier leaning on elbows on the trunk of the tree among flowers. (Soissons. Aisne. France. 1917).
From David Latapie:
"Boche" was the (pejorative) nickname for Germans. Some say it come from the noise of their combat boots.

Bucy-le-Long, arbres fruitiers sciés par les boches. Soldat accoudé au tronc de l'arbre en fleurs. (Soissons. Aisne. France. 1917).
