I really wish the world were a better place just now.

This is based on a true story ... please no accuracy folk this time please, Just accept it for what it is, it certainly made my heart melt

With Love Hope and Sincerity and I hope the current madness stops soon.

WW1 was probably one the last wars where the soldiers were not split ideologically. In 1914 they were mostly pre war regulars or reservists on both sides. Just doing their job. 

 

That changed later.

 

In WW2 there were several local truces and arrangements. Particularly in the desert. But the Christmas truce stands out.

 

My Grandad was there in 1914. I often wonder how he spent Christmas?
