A silhouette of two soldiers shaking hands in front of a sunset sky with snow-covered fields in the background.
Oh! What a solemn, somber night it was, When British and German soldiers alike did pause. A truce in the midst of war they made, And peace upon the battlefields they laid. Though none knew what would come of this respite, They all felt a momentary delight. For on that fateful night no one could see, The horrors that were to follow thee. The official histories of the Great War do not tell, Of the Christmas Truce where peace did dwell. Orwellian historians who would hide this truth away, Will never let us know what happened that day. Though we may never know what truly happened then, We must remember the courage of those brave men.
