About this Event
Luckley Lecture: A Christmas Truce
By the 1960s, people were classing the Christmas Truce of 1914 with other stories like the Angels of Mons and the Crucified Canadian – myths from WWI that today, we know were reality. How did these true events fall out of history and become myth?
Head of History, Sebastian Phillips examines what happened on Christmas Day 1914. How it took place, whether it happened the way we have been told, and why people later found it hard to believe.
