ON CHRISTMAS DAY 1914

 Just after midnight on Christmas morning the unofficial “Christmas Truce” began, German troops ceased firing their guns and artillery and then started singing Christmas carols. Later in the day men from both sides left their trenches and met in No man's land where they traded gifts with the enemy. The truce lasted for three days.
