Four months later the war was still being fought but on Christmas Day fighting stopped and both sides engaged in an unofficial truce. This book tells what happened that day and on the Christmas Days over the next four years. The personal accounts along with informal photographs, postcards and menu lists all make this book a treat to read at this time of year. It reminds us how the troops tried to carry on as normal and put on brave faces for the camera. The war was not just fighting as this book reminds us and that in all theatres men had to have cause for celebration. This is a book which can actually be read at any time of the year and not just kept for Christmas.
