Their enemies&#8212Geman soldiers&#8212li in wait just across a field known as &quotNoMan's Land.&quotAs the Germans' carol ends, Tolliver and the other British soldiers sing &quotGodRest Ye Merry Gentlemen.&quotSoon carols are being sung back and forth. Then a figure emerges in the dark, carrying a small Christmas tree with lighted candles. The British and German soldiers slowly leave their trenches&#8212an the war&#8212beind to stand together in the open field.This haunting story is adapted by award-winning songwriter John McCutcheon from his song of the same name.
