One hundred years ago on Christmas day . . .
“On Christmas morning (1914) we stuck up a board with ‘A Merry Christmas’ on it. The enemy had stuck up a similar one . . . Two of our men then threw their equipment off and jumped on the parapet with their hands above their heads. Two of the Germans done the same and commenced to walk up the river bank, our two men going to meet them. They met and shook hands and then we all got out of the trench . . . “ Frank Richards, a British soldier
