The Spirit of the Christmas Truce of WW1 Relived

During the 1st World War on Christmas Day1914 an amazing thing happened. There was a truce just for that day. Germans and the British stopped fighting and started singing carols. They came out of their trenches
and shook hands with the enemy. Photographs of families were shown to each other, small gifts were exchanged. Then they played a game of FOOTBALL!

 Just for that day it was PLAY not WAR!

In remembrance of those men, and, their hopes for the Peace to come:
