[00:00.70]One of their men,speaking in English, [00:02.75]mentioned that the had worked in Brighton [00:04.87]for some years and that he was fed up [00:07.12]to the neck with this damned war [00:09.24]and would be glad when it was over. [00:11.73]We told him he wasn't the only one [00:13.84]who was fed up with it. [00:15.83]The German commander asked Buffalo Bill [00:18.14]if we would like a couple of barrels of beer [00:21.21]and they brought them over to us. [00:23.25]The officers came to an understanding [00:25.05]that the unofficial truce would end [00:27.13]at midnight. [00:28.67]Just before midnight we all decided not start [00:31.72]firing before they did. [00:33.62]During the whole of Boxing Day we never fired [00:35.89]a shot and they the same: [00:38.39]each side seemed to be waiting [00:40.02]for the other to set the ball rolling. [00:42.67]One of their men shouted across in English [00:44.83]and inquired how we had enjoyed the beer. [00:47.71]We replied that we were ery grateful [00:50.11]and spent the whole day chatting with them. [00:52.80]That evening we were replaced [00:54.59]by another battalion.
