I should like to be able to tell you that we began it. But the truth I’m ashamed to say, is that fritz began it.

across no man’s land, “Happy Christmas, Tommy! Happy Christmas!” when we had got over the surprise,

some of us shouted back, “same to you, Fritz! same to you!” I thought that would be that. we all did. Butthen suddenly one of them was up there in his grey great coat and waving a white flag. “Don’t shout

lads!” Someone shouted. and no one did. then there was another friends up on the parapet, and another.

“keep your heads down,” I told the man, “it's a trick.” but it wasn't.
