The story of the Christmas truce\n\nOn Christmas Eve 1914 on the Western Front, British and German soldiers sang carols to each other across a frosty, moonlit No Man's Land. The next morning, on Christmas Day, hundreds of men of both nations emerged from the trenches to talk, joke, take photographs and exchange souvenirs, in the most famous fraternisation of the First World War.\n\nThis remarkable event is remembered by three soldiers who took part: Graham Williams of the London Rifle Brigade, Leslie Walkinton of the Queen's Westminster Rifles and Albert Moren of The Queen's Regiment.
