I stumbled across these and thought there might be some interest. In 1915 the photographer Léon Gimpel (French,1873 – 1948) befriended a group of children from the Grenata Street neighborhood in Paris, who had established their own "Army". He began to visit them regularly on Sundays, helping them to build their arsenal (from whatever was to hand) providing direction in "casting", and recording with this series of autochromes the army's triumphs over the evil enemy, the "Boche." imgur.com/a/eAbq4#XR6ue8v

I have seen these in the past. Really nice.That said the gleeful game of execution of prisoner of war, did strike me as ominous.
