The Christmas Truce of 1914

The Christmas truce of 1914 was an unofficial ceasefire that took place along the Western front during the First World War. The meeting of enemies as friends in no-man's land was experienced by hundreds, if not thousands, of men on during the "war to end all wars". Nearly a century later, the event is seen as a shining episode of sanity from among the bloody chapters of World War One - a spontaneous effort by the lower ranks to create a peace that could have blossomed were it not for the interference of world leaders and politicians.

@MrDMTVProductionz that is good to hear. those that survived either of the world wars deserved to have long lives and good ones. Be proud of your grandfather as I know you are. People these days just either dont realize what they went thru or don't care or are just simply uninformed of what these GREAT men went thru. Simply God bless them all on both sides.

I wish someone would take similar photos set to Rockapella's "Christmas Ceasefire" - it is really awesome to see this video as well.
