Christmas 1914

This advertisement dramatizes an actual event in history - the spontaneous truce between the Germans and the British on Christmas Day 1914.  For 24-48 hours, the guns fell silent, and the enemy armies filling the trenches of the Western Front exchanged names, food, gifts from home, and celebrated Christmas together.  The war resumed quickly, but what an incredible reminder of humanity in the midst of horrific devastation.
