"ON Saturday evening the Staffordshire Regiment Museum at Whittington held its annual commemoration of that first Christmas of the Great War in 1914 when weary and homesick British and German troops called an unofficial truce in many sectors of the Western Front. In our replica trench at the museum some 200 visitors, the museum staff and volunteers, singers, the museum education team and re-enactors were reminded of that unique event with a couple of songs well known to British troops at the time and Christmas carols, interspersed with readings taken from letters sent home to loved ones describing with some amazement what was happening at the time."
