The Daily Mail just had an article about colorized pictures of scenes from World War II.
There isn't a lot of carnage and gore in the pictures, so they aren't really horrific, but they do show the reality of war. However, one picture was kind of humorous. While the Allies were attacking in Italy (which was actually a very rugged and difficult part of WWII), Mount Vesuvius erupted. While it certainly wasn't the same powerful outburst as the gigantic eruption that buried Pompeii, it was a strong eruption, and it produced a lava flow.
The humorous picture shows Allied Troops attempting to toast their bread using the heat from the lava flow.
