The 5th and 6th classes of Cappawhite National School, 2021-2022, have created a video giving their interpretation of the 1914 Christmas Truce during World War 1.
On that historic occasion Allied and German troops ceased fire for one moment in time to celebrate Christmas together. They shared photos and stories of home and played a unique game of soccer on no-man's land.
In the video WW1 veteran, Grandad Billy, shares his recollection of the events surrounding this historical occasion and his journey from boyhood innocence to the life of a hardened soldier in the trenches.
