Speaking of the Christmas Truce of 1914,

 

A great song describing Christmas 1914 "in the trenches" and  having a group of WW1 German veterans visit his show some 75 years afterwards just to hear this song Christmas in the Trenches written and performed by John McCutcheon. Caution: It might get a little dusty.

                                                                                 

It appears as if this guy has had some "serious" training.

I don't believe this guy is just your average citizen from Australia. I grew up around guns and some very good "shooters" and I am not sure I've ever seen anyone as smooth as this fellar.

I heard it on the radio yesterday.

 

It never really seems like Christmastime until I hear "Merry Christmas mein friend".

I have wondered if the Christmas Truce of 1914 was the inspiration for the song? I truthfully doubt it from the looks of the Guardsmen back in the day(i.e. old album covers). Still, it is a great story of "peace on Earth" even if it was short lived.

"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men". Luke 2:14
