@the_london_spy: Christmas Day 1914 in the first year of WW1 - the exhausted armies had sought safety in trenches. In the opposing front lines, men endured the same wretched conditions, often within earshot of one another. At Christmas, German and British soldiers emerged to meet in the frozen strip of mud between the trench. They sang carols and exchanged presents from cigarettes and cigars to buttons and badges. But this seasonal goodwill could not last. Soon the fighting started again. #christmasday #thelondonspy #davidharry #tourguide #londonguide #imperialwarmuseum #worldwar1 #thetrenches #blackaddergoesforth
