Christmas Eve 1914

Taking a break from dairy for the moment, in celebration of the season. It is the season, or at least should be, the season of hope.

Here is an inspiration for your consideration:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_truce

The Christmas truce is a term used to describe several brief unofficial cessations of hostilities that occurred on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day between German and British or French troops in World War I, particularly that between British and German troops stationed along the Western Front during Christmas 1914 and, to a lesser extent, in 1915. In 1915 there was a similar Christmas truce between German and French troops, and during Easter 1916 a truce also existed on the Eastern Front.


Merry Christmas to everyone.

    This is interesting that in 1915 there was a similar Christmas truce between German and French troops, and during Easter 1916 a truce also existed on the Eastern Front.
