Strange Bic, I was reading about the Christmas Truce of 1914 just this morning. Here is a very well written description of that day. With pictures.

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

Good article. My mother was born in 1912, the youngest by far of a large family. She had a brother, William, a private in one of the  the British South African battalions who was KIA at the battle of Delville Wood in 1916.
