In 1914, one hundred and three years ago today, on Christmas Eve and most of Christmas Day, the guns fell silent.

That first Christmas of WWI was the only time it happened during that war. As it constituted blatant 'fraternising with the enemy', the generals on both sides had to put an end to it.

And then that horrible meat-grinder of a war, dragged on for over three more years.
