When did it happen?
December 1914
Where did it happen?
The land between the British
and German trenches
(No-man’s land)
What was it?
The British and German soldiers played a game of football.
The many letters from soldiers who took part are more than sufficient evidence. Many of these letters were published in the soldier’s local paper – usually taken in to the paper by astonished families.
