The Christmas Truce of 1914

Christmas Bonus : The Christmas Truce of 1914War is hell. Trench warfare is a special kind of hell. What’s special is finding out that the men across the stretch that nobody crosses have more in common with you than the leaders sending you to your death is something special. Every once in a while, in the most inhuman times, soldiers find common ground. Today we're all brothersTonight we're all friendsA moment of peace in a war that never endsToday we're all brothersWe drink and uniteNow Christmas has arrived and the snow turns the ground whiteHear carols from the trenchesWe sing O Holy NightOur guns laid to rest among snowflakesA Christmas in the trenchesA Christmas on the front far from home.
