World War 1 in Colour is an episodic British documentary series that showcases many of the major moments of the Great War, making extensive use of computer-coloured wartime footage and featuring narration by Kenneth Branagh and Robert Powell.
The series’ episodes are structured around key themes, including the outbreak of the war, trench warfare on land, the early use of aeroplanes and balloons in combat, the naval theatre of war, the chaos of the Eastern Front, iconic moments from the conflict, and the military tactics employed by each side. The documentary also includes interviews with several veterans, including Harry Patch, the last British trench fighter; Hubert Williams, the last surviving pilot of the Royal Flying Corps; Bill Stone, one of the last surviving veterans of the First World War-era Royal Navy; and Jack Davis, the last man to enlist in the all-volunteer Kitchener’s Army.
