    Christmas in the Trenches...

    I happened to be searching for information on the Joplin, Missouri Public Library's web site today and noticed that their library has a display about the 1914 Christmas Truce:

    The very first picture of the display features a kilt in the Government Sett and an Argylls glengarry.

    Lest we forget,

    Todd

    I know it's been brought up here many times, but the film Joyeux Noel is wonderful, albeit highly dramatized.
