About this ebook
24 December 1914: near the Belgian town of Ypres, and in many parts of the Western Front, the firing fades to a halt; a magic happens that for years the Chiefs of Staff of the powers involved will try to keep quiet.
This is the story of when hundreds of soldiers became human again, the story of Scott and Hans, the story of a soccer ball.
And a red rose.
