The Christmas Truce
By Jared
In 1914 allied troops were fighting German troops on the western front
Trench warfare was really, really dirty and not a nice place for the soldiers to be!
On Christmas Day, the troops from both sides declared a ceasefire.
The soldiers met in no mans land, where they exchanged gifts and sung Christmas carols.
The soldiers agreed that they would play a game of football.
This is a picture of the solders playing football.
On 12 December 2014 Prince William was joined by Roy Hodgson to unveil a memorial to remember the Christmas Truce in World War One when soldiers from Britain and Germany stopped fighting and played football on Christmas Day.
