Christmas Amenties at the Front.

"The Scotsman" has opened it's digital archive for one week. I can thouroughly reccomend it - even to non Scots. History through the eyes of Scottish journalists, Lincoln's Assination, Titanic etc etc.

And this poignant piece from World War 1. Christmas Amenities at the Front

Here's hoping those of all nationalities serving their countries this Christmas/Holiday time can have a peaceful and safe one.

Sleepy sarge, I would love to read this. Can you tell me how to get it?

Didn't clicking the link work?

If you get the chance, watch teh film "Joyeux Noel" I don't know if its out anywhere but France, but if it is available, its good. Its about Christmas eve in the first world war- scottish, french, and germans in the trenches. Very touching, and a generally good film.
