A Big Surprise In 1914, there was a truce that most people who know about it will never forget. How come in this time of 2017 some people still can’t be equal with other religions, beliefs, or even just where their from and how they look.

During this time carols were sung from both sides in the trenches, both lines got to repair some of their trenches and buried bodies of their fallen comrades, and even at some parts of the lines gifts of beer, pudding, and tobacco were exchanged and plus even a few unscheduled games of football. (soccer) It had almost not…
