Summary:	Amid the shortages, tedium and dangers of life in the First World War trenches, those at ʻthe sharp endʼ remained determined to celebrate Christmas as a time of comradeship and community. Drawing on personal recollections and interviews and a wide range of archive photographs, Alan Wakefield shows how Christmas was celebrated by British, Dominion and Empire troops across the world.
