My gift to you all ^_^
The Chrismas truce:
the year was 1914 0r was it 1915? well i'm not sure...
it was chrismas eve, all though-out the britsh line soldiers tried to prepare for the day to come. Deep in the mud and muck they layed with-out hope or joy, just wanting to be home.
then they heard a sound riseing from the german line across no-man's land... they heard singing, they were singing, slient night.
the british thought it was a challage of moral, so they joined in the singing
then a german soldier, a kid, climbed out of the trench with a small tree lit with candles, he walked out of the barbed wire with a smile on his face... more joined him, eventally two brith soldiers came out of their fireing postitions
they agreed to a truce on chrismas day.
the next day they duried the dead amd traded supplies, the talked and chated... just like good old freinds...
there was a scoocer game held between them... ummm i can remeber you won though...
another occurence happend like this as well, between french and german... can't remember the year though...
a battle within the mines of a mountain, they sat and sang songs, they did not see each other but they were at peace...
this chrismas truce was very impressive, that they were able to bring peace right in the middle of the war, the war still had 4 more years to go, millions more would die over that period...
Merry Chrismas all, this all i can offer, it's not much but i hope you enjoyed it ^_^ i love history, i would like to be a historian, so tell me what you thought ^_^
