An education pack containing photographs, eye-witness accounts and drawings of the historic moment when football brought the First World War to a halt is being sent to all UK schools.
The Christmas Day Truce in 1914 saw spontaneous football matches take place between soldiers on the frontline in No Man’s Land.
The packs have been produced by the British Council, The FA, Premier League and Football League and include accounts and depictions from soldiers, some of which have never been published.
Entitled Football Remembers, the memories are from British, French, Belgian, German and Indian witnesses and accompany activities for English, modern foreign languages, drama, art, sport, history, moral education and conflict resolution.
