Armed with his stuffed toy and aircraft, James Hyde of the RAF from Trinidad joined the fight in 1942. He flew with 132 Squadron but was unfortunately killed when his Spitfire was shot down by German fighters on 25th September 1944. Lest we forget. BEAUTIFUL colourised photographs have told the stories behind some of Britain?s greatest Black, Asian and other minority ethnic soldiers of the First and Second World War. Lovingly restored pictures have revealed an RAF captain, James Hyde, smile with a toy dog on his plane inbetween fighting the Nazi?s, and a turban-clad member of the Indian infantry smiling with hundreds of bullets on his body. More striking images have captured two fed-up looking snipers of 1st Battalion, Caribbean Regiment in July 1944, who are also shown relaxing by playing brass instruments away from the battlefield. The recoloured portraits of these Great Britons were created by student, Magnus Waale (24) from Oslo, Norway. He uses Adobe Photoshop to meticulously bring varied vintage portraits of these UK ethnic minority soldiers back to life. mediadrumworld.com/MagnusWaale/@fratuzzi_
