I heard this old John McCutcheon song on the radio while driving home last night.
The song is one view of an event that took place on Dec. 24-25, 1914 ... a time when German and English/Scottish soldiers stopped shooting at each other, entered no-man's land between their opposing trenches, shared supplies and music, played some soccer by some accounts, and drove the military leadership out of their minds ... the implications of simple cannon-fodder soldiers making their own, quite deliberate peace was ... what? -- crazy? unpatriotic?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9coPzDx6tA
Sorry. Can't seem to create a link.
