It's an ad for Sainsbury's, but still it is a nice little film about the Christmas Truce YouTube link |

Be nice to have a break from the interminable football to get on with some fighting. |

I wonder who won that football match? I'm guessing the Germans. :P |

It's very well done, and it also manages to slip in an extra bit of Great War trivia; The Cheshires could hold a trench but they couldn't carry a tune |

I think the best thing about the England Germany football rivalry is that the Germans aren't aware of it LOL |

Yes, that was an amazing event. Unfortunately, I don't see anything like that happening in Iraq or A'stan today. For a number of reasons … Sorry to be a downer … Merry Christmas … |

It's ok Legion, it didn't happen the rest of that war either… |

I wonder who won that football match? I'm guessing the Germans. actually till the 70s the English routinely beat the Germans at football |
