The Christmas Truce 1914 British & German soldiers hold a joint burial service at a shell crater in
The Christmas Truce 1914
I have depicted the view of the joint burial service carried out by British & German soldiers during the Christmas Truce around a shell crater
The Christmas Truce was over some 21 miles of trench, however the trenches ran from the Belgian coast to the Swiss border 450 miles!
Prior to the he meeting in No man's land, the German soldiers climbed out of their trenches and placed candles and small Christmas Trees on the German parapet
An exceptionally moving moment amongst the death and destruction of the Great War
