Sad Holiday Story of the Day
Reuters is reporting that the last surviving soldier that took part in the Christmas Day truce of 1914 has died. The story of the Christmas truce is very interesting. German soldiers put down their weapons and started singing carols in their trenches. The British responded in kind. Eventually the two sides met and exchanged cigarettes and other memorabilia. They even played soccer.
