उत्तर
Post Card
Christmas Day, 1914.
Dear Mom,
I can’t help writing to you about what happened here. You may wonder that we had a break on the battle field. It was because of Christmas Eve. To our surprise, the Germans came out of their trenches. They called us to come to the ground between the trench called ‘No man’s Land’. They had the preparation for the Christmas celebration. They placed the Christmas trees in front of the trench lit with candles and lanterns.
The Germans sang ‘Silent Night, Holy Night”. It was very lovely. We applauded their singing. Then we sang “The First Nowell, the angel did say. ”They responded with their applause. We exchanged our gifts in food, buttons, etc. No one wanted war but peace. Even the Germans want to end the war and go home. We hope to see you all soon.
Your loving son,
Sam.
