The Chinese though not celebrating Christmas themselves paid us the respect of ceasing fire for the day. They left packets of tea on the front line wire with a little note that read "English soldiers, forget about the war have a nice cup of char" That day has lived long in my memory. I am so thankful to still be here in 2022 to wish all my friends on here a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. My very best wishes to everyone.

Reminds me of the Christmas truce and l have to echo what we all think mate - we're proud to have you in our midst. How many chicken legs did you get?
And furthermore - let's not also forget our boys and girls serving abroad at Christmas like Tommy - wherever they are: We're all thinking of you too at tis time - we're all proud of you and the job you do to keep us safe.
