Default Colt .45 with capture papers

Ok guys, here's one for ya ! This past weekend, from a garage sale, was this .45 Colt, 1917 mfg. with WW2 capture papers. Why would we issue capture papers on a piece of our own equipment ? Was it because it wasn't issued for the 2nd WW and the SGT. wanted to bring it home ? Was it left in France after WW1 ? I belive there's several possibilitys.... The capture papers ( 2 ) both describe it as a French Remm pistol....... whatever that is.......
