The Christmas Truce of 1914

Christmas time is coming. For many this is a beautiful period with lots of beautiful memories in the past, or an ideal moment to create new ones. For others this might be a terrible period because of many reasons, like being lonely, finding it a hyped festivity or just because of some bad memories in the past.

Many young men were in the trenches at Christmas in 1914. Luckily, most of us won't ever have to endure that. Unfortunately we have to conclude that humanity hasn't learned much from history in this civilized world. Many men and women won't be able to join their families for Christmas dinner because they have to be at the frontline or in the trenches in the several war zones nowadays.

I would like to tell you about the Christmas Truce of 1914. A heartwarming story from the trenches, during the cold and bloody First World War.
