One of the most violent moments in human history, and yet still had a moment of peace and humanity such as this christmas truce. In the broad daylight, for a day, there was no war in no man's land.
Would highly recommend listening to the actor Peter Capaldi read the letter of Captain Reginald John Armes to his wife which gives an account of his perspective of the Christmas Truce. Merry Christmas Boylei 🎄
🎶 Silence, oh I remember the silence on a cold winter day. After many months in the battlefield. We were so used to the violence. Then all the cannons went silent as the snow fell Voices sang to me from no man's land.
And today we’re all brothers Tonight we’re all friends A moment of peace in a war that never ends Today we’re all brothers We drink and unite Now Christmas has arrived and the snow turns the ground white Hear carols from the trenches, we sing O holy night Our guns laid to rest among snowflakes A Christmas in the trenches, a Christmas on the front far from home
Madness. Oh, I remember the sadness. We were hiding our tears. In a foreign land where we faced our fears. We were soldiers. Carried the war on our shoulders. For our nations. Is that why we burry our friends?
As someone who studies warfare i love this part of history it shows no matter how ba'd humanity can get we can become our best in such the wo'rst con'flict it shows humanity is within our hearts no matter how bad something is their is always a place to find humanity
The Christmas Truce is quite possibly my favorite moment in all of human history. It’s a powerful reminder of both humanity’s capacity for compassion and of what can happen when we love/rely of Christ. Appropriately for Christmas, it was nothing short of a miracle. Thank you so much for making this and sharing it with us, Boylei Hobby Time.
Fantastic diorama of an awesome moment in time. Never forget, Tolkien was heavily influenced by his time in France during World War I. He served as a British Army Officer.
Scenes like this always bring this to my mind.... When the Baron cried out "Merry Christmas, my friend!" ♥Thank you. Merry Christmas, Boylei and family! ♥
Always appreciate your Christmas-themed works, and this is certainly one of those moments in history we should never forget. Well done and, as always, Merry Christmas!
Your work is superb. There are few things as beautiful as a person using the gifts that God has given them to bring joy to others. God Bless you and your family, and may your Christmas be one of peace and joy.
Did not expect that The Great War mention, I see you are a man of culture as well. If you didn´t know already, Timeghost, the main fellas behind the week by week coverage, actually recently finished doing the same thing with the entirety of WW2 as well and are currently doing The Korean War and are in the process of doing like, 10 other similar projects, it´s seriously incredible what they´re doing, I highly suggest checking that out as well. Also a great diorama of course, I´d love to see more historical stuff like this from you.
What an outstanding diorama, who knows something like that could have happened. Merry Christmas to you and yours and let us not forget the reason for the season: the birth of Christ Jesus.
Gonna be getting two watches from me on this one, cause I'm exhausted right now and definitely going to fall asleep halfway, and then a second watch when I wake up and want to actually watch haha
well crud. didn't know I'd be gettin' feels this morning. glad it's because of your work tho. well done sir. Merry Christmas to you and your family. May 2025 be good to y'all
Merry Christmas! Amen, we've all sinned and God came to earth, lived a sinless life, and shed His blood on the cross and rose from the dead. If a person accepts Jesus' free gift of salvation, they will be saved and will go to heaven.

If it where to happen again it would be something
Unless you were some of the french who didn't stop fighting because the Germans were invading your homeland.
Very poignant.
Merry Christmas! ❤
Its enough to make a grown man cry. Well done Boylei.
One of my favourites you've ever done. Didn't think a model diorama would get me feeling emotional, but here we are!

🎶 Silence, oh I remember the silence on a cold winter day.
After many months in the battlefield. We were so used to the violence. Then all the cannons went silent as the snow fell
Voices sang to me from no man's land.
We are all, we are all, we are all, we are all friends
And today we’re all brothers
Tonight we’re all friends
A moment of peace in a war that never ends
Today we’re all brothers
We drink and unite
Now Christmas has arrived and the snow turns the ground white
Hear carols from the trenches, we sing O holy night
Our guns laid to rest among snowflakes
A Christmas in the trenches, a Christmas on the front far from home
Madness.
Oh, I remember the sadness.
We were hiding our tears.
In a foreign land where we faced our fears.
We were soldiers.
Carried the war on our shoulders.
For our nations.
Is that why we burry our friends?

Merry Christmas to you all, from the UK. Have a great holiday season, whatever you celebrate, and see you all in the New Year.
The unofficial "cease fire" was a great story to be sure. Thank you for sharing. May God Bless all in this Advent season.
First, also hyped for the video. Didn‘t think there would be one this year anymore.
I’ve always loved this story and am glad you did something for it. Thanks for continuing to post because I’m always in awe of your skills.

Sabaton - Christmas Truce is perfect for this video.

Just like the Sainsbury’s advert
