Freezing cold Christmas Day 1914.
First year of World War 1.
Coming up to the second year of war.
On No Mans Land.
British Troops could hear carols on the other side.
See decorations around the German trenches.
Beautiful sound from the voices from the other side.
Instead of the unpleasant sounds from the firing machine guns.
All the sudden.
A great big dirty ball kicked onto No Mans Land.
Germans come out asking the British for a game of Football.
Not quite the green grass, with white paint marks and metal goal posts with fabric stitched netting.
So jumpers for goal posts it is.
Rough markings on No Mans Land.
The game went on.
England vs. Germany on a cold Christmas day.
Germany were the winners.
Not quite the game between England vs. Germany later in 1966.
The game finished.
The day nears to the end.
After The English and The Germans are together exchanging gifts.
Tobacco, Alcohol and tinned food.
Celebrating Christmas together.
No fighting on Christmas Day.
Getting together, bringing peace just for one day.
Boxing day comes.
Business resumes.
