Not a Shot Was Fired

World War One was a few months old but the bitter fighting came to a miraculous end on Christmas Eve 1914 when soldiers on the Western Front decided to lay down their guns, cross No Man's Lane and shake hands with the enemy. They shared presents, sang carols together and even played football. This book contains transcripts of original letters from soldiers who took part in the Christmas Truce of 1914. This book is in black and white.
