No.

Did they get a "land fit for heroes to live in"
Yes or no?

No.

They were promised that World War One would be "a war to end wars" - yes or no?

No.

Was World War One "a war to end wars" -yes or no?

No

If neither of these promises where fulfilled the volunteers were tricked into joining - yes or no?

No.

Why are promises made to soldiers non part of this discussion - which is actually about the Christmas truce by the way, before you start hiding behind "thread drift" again.

No such promises were made.

YOURS is "the current view of history must be changed"
