Christmas Truce of 1914
In 1914 when the cold wind blew,
Through no-mans land with a familiar tune.
In two opposing languages,
Both sides sang,
In perfect harmony,
Their voices rang out.
Two brave souls who started it all,
Risked their lives for a game of ball.
Germany and UK played side-by-side,
Enemies who became friends despite their divide.
A Christmas truce and a miracle of war,
A handshake that would become much, much more.
WW1 truce - Christmas day game of football. Inspired by the Morrison's 2014 advert.
