A German soldier stopped the Great War so he could ask Captain Hulse to post a letter for him.
The Christmas Truce of 1914 was one of the most poignant events in the Great War of 1914-18.

In a letter to his mother on December 28th that year, Captain Hulse of the Scots Guards told how the spontaneous truce began.
