i remember my relatives told me about my grand-grand-grand-father which was fighting in Russian Imperial Army. They played cards with the "enemy" and after the alarm, they could kill each other.

Now this shows humanity, great photograph of worldwide importance. War is such a waste.

If only we were allowed to do this in England.

Thanks, for the view of how it looks today, would boys be allowed to have a bonfire there today, or would it damage the new litter bin?

No, burning old Christmas trees is strictly prohibited nowadays.

Sad, but true. This used to be a great pastime after Christmas. There used to be a great competition: which group could gather most trees (and therefore have the greatest fire?). There were fights over trees, then.

Wounded and invalids. Wounded german soldiers get a light from a Red Cross nurse for their cigarette. Eastern Europe.
