On this day, 25 December 1914, 100,000 troops on the Western Front during World War I held an unofficial truce where they refused to fight one another. German soldiers began singing Silent Night and other Christmas carols in English, French and German, who were joined by English soldiers. Then they slowly emerged from the trenches and met in no man’s land, exchanging gifts and in some places playing football.
