I dont think you have to be british or german to get this,
I thought I would share
Happy holidays:)
I've seen it a few times Lucy and it always brings a tear to my eye too. My great grandfather was killed on the Somme and in one of the letters he sent home to his young wife (which I now have) he talks about the cease fire on Christmas day and how they got together with the German lads and shared chocolate. When I see the pictures of him he was just a boy.
Happy holidays darling :)
