A Truce To Remember

A bit delayed with this, but hey, the Christmas vibe’s not (hopefully) over yet.
Unexpected and out of nowhere, the blast of the weapons ceased. Instead, they replaced the bloody battle with a football match. As the Holidays ended, the fun was gone and each soldier returned back to their cold trenches. The battle continued as if no peaceful Christmas were celebrated at all.
Happy Holidays & New Year~ 🎄

TWISTS IN THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT:
• Uniforms from different era | some of the helmets/headgears may not existed in 1914. They were simply not used in battle back then.
• Ottoman & the company | Ottomans, as well as Serbs, Montenegrins (& maybe more) might not made direct combat in this front*. I’m basically highlighting countries which took part in WWI before Christmas 1914.
Pls spare me if I would forget some other countries.
The Ottomans although had their own truce with ANZAC (troops from Australia & New Zealand), later in Spring 1915.
• No, they didn’t use guns to dress Christmas trees, right? (but that would be cool).

+ Gallipoli campaign...

[@sniper3031]

@@ZTE I just imagine both sides looking down all of his dead. If I were on their shoes, I would've asked myself, why? What was the purpose for all this men to die? The saddest thing is it was meaningless. All of that death and violence was totally unnecessary and men died because some country leaders could not talk things out. World war 1 could have been avoided or at least reduced to 1914, if the Christmas truce had reached all trenches, it's sad oficials and generals could not see that they were killing fellow humans, men and women alike. They were not demons, as some would say. And this men in December 25, 1914, realized that the ones in the other trench were not so different after all.
