An illustrated presentation on Christmas during the Great War, told in the words of the local men and women who celebrated or suffered from 1914 to 1918. Was there really a Christmas truce in 1914?

How was Christmas celebrated by Leicestershire's fighting men on all the fighting fronts, and even at sea, from 1914-1918
