FOOTBALL MAD

FOOTBAL MAD • At the first light of dawn on Christmas Day 1914, some German soldiers emerged from their trenches and approached the Allied lines across no-man’sland, calling out “Merry Christmas” in their enemies’ native tongues. At first, the Allied soldiers feared it was a trick, but seeing the Germans unarmed they climbed out of their trenches and shook hands with the enemy soldiers. The men exchanged presents of cigarettes and plum puddings and sang carols and songs.

FOOTBALL MAD There was even a documented case of soldiers from opposing sides playing a good-natured game of football. German Lieutenant Kurt Zehmisch recalled: “How marvelously wonderful, yet how strange it was. The English officers felt the same way about it. Thus Christmas, the celebration of Love, managed to bring mortal enemies together as friends for a time. ”

WORLD A BETTER PLACE Despite 4 years of massacre, heartbreak and hell some aspects of life emerged from the 'Great War' much improved.

WOMENS RIGHTS • WWI helped bring about the emancipation of women. Women took over many traditionally male jobs and showed that they could perform them just as well as men. • In 1918, most women over the age of 30 were given the vote in the British parliamentary elections. • FOR ADDITIONAL WORK LOOK AT THE SUFFRAGETTE MOVEMENT

AIRLINES Although the first fare-paying passengers had flown before 1914, it was the development of larger, multiengined aircraft in WW 1 that made airlines possible.

WWI helped hasten medical advances. Physicians learned better wound management and the setting of bones. Harold Gillies, an English doctor, pioneered skin graft surgery. PIONEERING PLASTIC SURGERY 'The floodgates in my neck seemed to burst, and the blood poured out in torrents. . . I could feel something lying loosely in my left cheek, as though I had a chicken bone in my mouth. It was in reality half my jaw, which had been broken off, teeth and all, and was floating about in my mouth. ' John Glubb, hit by a shell fragment in 1917 shell fragment in August 1917
