Stories of the First World War from Terry Deary, author of the 'Horrible Histories'. Flanders, 1914. The German and British soldiers in the trenches make an unofficial Christmas truce, with carols and a football match. But the officers aren't happy. A veteran soldier and a young recruit are 'celebrating' Christmas in the trenches. They hear the enemy sing carols and begin to shout greetings across no-man's land - and end up playing an international football match.
