By December 1914, it had become clear to even the most optimistic
observer that the war would not be over by Christmas. That month
brought the first enemy inflicted deaths on the home front, when
German warships bombarded three north-east coastal towns;
meanwhile, the recently invented aeroplane was being put to
fearsome use in raids over the south east. In Europe, Mons, the
Marne and Ypres had given a taste of the devastating power of
modern warfare - a reality to which troops in the trenches on both
sides tried to turn a blind eye in the famous Christmas truce. This
book uses contemporary newspapers and magazines, diaries and other
records to present a comprehensive image of this extraordinary
Christmas, both at home and abroad.
