Thread Name: Lyr Req: Christmas in the trenches
Subject: Lyr Req: Christmas in the trenches
Anyone have the words to this? I know it from the singing of the great Mary Courtney of Dingle. It is about the instance where, during WWI, there was a spontanious truce when the armies began singing Christmas carols together, then they got out of the trenches into no man's land, and exchanged gifts, and played football through the night, returning to the trenches to kill each other in the morning...
Cheers,
Larry
