John McDermott - Christmas in the Trenches

Another special excerpt in our ongoing celebration of 20 (!) years of 'A Time to Remember". The wonderful stage set-up and actors allowed for such a beautiful backdrop to the story that this song brings to light. The Christmas Truce of 1914 was a most rare and humanizing piece of WWI history and John sings it like no other.
'Christmas in the Trenches' written by John McCutcheon in 1984.

This beautiful music accompanies one of John's saddest songs. It is difficult to keep back tears also if so much time has passed. Although we should never forget, I am afraid that we will forget again and again. I really do wish to be wrong !

Thank you for telling us the history behind this song. We must never forget!❣️

I cannot listen this song without crying. The flower of Europen youth was wiped out for the sake of some multimillionaires who supplied weapons and uniforms.
