EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the poignant moment of the unveiling of the Christmas Truce Memorial at Frelinghien on 11 November 2008. The memorial commemorates the most fully documented Christmas Truce story of 1914, which took place between the 2nd Royal Welch Fusiliers and the Saxon 133rd Infantry Regiment plus the Prussian 6th Jager Battalion at the French-Belgian border. The truce, an extraordinary event during the First World War, occurred on Christmas Day, 1914, when soldiers from both sides put down their weapons and came together in a spirit of peace and goodwill. The memorial was unveiled by the daughter of Private Frank Richards DCM, MM of the 2nd Royal Welch Fusiliers, who played a significant role in this historic event. The unveiling ceremony took place exactly one hundred years after the truce, marking a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the enduring power of peace and understanding. The Christmas Truce at Frelinghien is a unique and important chapter in the history of the First World War, and the memorial serves as a reminder of the shared humanity that exists even in the most adversarial of circumstances."
