Very interesting bit of history.
My name is Francis Tolliver, I come from Liverpool.
I know that song and the best rendition of it , I think , is done by a Canadian singer , John Mcdermott . I had hope to find a clip of "Christmas in the Trenches" for you . I could not . But I found this.
For all the good things that bind our countries together, I offer you this instead ,
May God bless all of us who believe ,

The FR thread was about a page that used pics from this link.

I have the CD by McDermott singing Christmas in The Trenches. The title of the CD is called BATTLEFIELDS OF GREEN. Tis very well done. I love his rendition of, The Minstrel Boy.
Thank you so much for the link. I had trouble seeing some of it through the tears but everyone should be seeing it during this season of Thanksgiving.
They didn't ignore you. They took your idea and produced a show. I do forget the name, but I believe it was the history channel.
