Christmas Football Match
now there was definitely a truce on Christmas Eve, December 24, 1914.
It is reported that soldiers sang carols and crossed into no mans land to exchange small gifts, but it is also commonly said they had football matches. Does anyone have any pictures, or proper proof this happened? |

I'm sorry I don't have any knowledge of that time period, but my brother-in-law was in the Canadian army later than WWI and WII, probably in the 60s or 70s, and he has a story of serving in a peace keeping mission on a border, where people from both sides of the conflict brought seasonal offerings on December 24th.
