Presentation transcript:

24 th December 1914

The Germans started to sing Christmas hymns could be heard The Germans sang Silent Night The British sang God Rest ye Merry Gentlemen The soldiers from both sides met in no mans land This took place in Ypres in Belguim where they had been fighting since October 19th

The Christmas Truce was very special and unusual After the terrible fighting, it was a special time to think of home and have some fun playing football. Some soldiers even exchanged presents and ate food together

The football match took place on Christmas day Germany won two goals to one.

The men were ordered back to their trenches by General Sir Horace Smith- Dorrien. The fighting restarted again. Many had hoped that the dreadful war would come to an end. No mans land which had been a meeting ground during the truce was now the battleground again. Soldiers on both sides remembered it as a happy time in their diaries and postcards home.
