WAR

We're covering the events of World War I exactly 100 years later.

While some World War II soldiers were storming the beaches of Normandy, others were busy drafting posters to school soldiers on the dangers of venereal diseases.

"When twelve o’clock struck there was only a little shudder among the crowd and a distant muffled cheer and then everyone seemed to melt away again, leaving me standing there with tears in my eyes and feeling absolutely wretched."

On this date in 1914, exhausted World War I foes put down their guns to enjoy a brief period of peace, music, and camaraderie.
