Understood, however this was done as showing how men, in the midst of killing each other can find common humanity in the strangest of places. No Man's Land among the dead is where this meeting took place. And on this one blessed day of the year, we should put Christ first and killing last.

Thanks, but, the point was not missed.

However, the fact is, most don't want to fight (it hurts to have your nose blooded - regardless of the high some feel) but sometime, we must fight. Those 1914 troops would have all rather been with their families celebrating Christmas.

It is however, a tribute, that across no man's land they could extend the hand and enjoy a day in the name of Christ.

And that no political animal of a staff officer fired on them as traitors for fraternizing with the enemy.
