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.
