A movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0424205/) about an incredibly signifiant event in human history (http://www.firstworldwar.com/features/christmastruce.htm)...

A little bit Hollywood, but well worth seeing if you get the chance. I'm not sure what's more amasing - the story, or the fact it's true!

I'm looking out for a book on it at the mo - and if anyone knows of one, yell will ya? Good enough to watch 2 in a row (well nearly... and I was trapped in my seat for 24 hours... but I'd still watch it again!)

Cheers for the thumbs up, will make sure I have a look.

Have you read Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks? It's a bit girly in places but bloody entrenching (aahh, sorry).

I went to Flanders Fields a few years ago. What a waste of life that was......
