Unsure if cowards are remembered by poppies
Big difference between an cowardly IRA scumbag who deliberately sets out to maim and kill in their typically cowardly fashion...
...and some poor conscripted bastard forced to go into battle and told to go running at German defences. I'd like to see how any of us would cope with that.
Killing your own because they won't take part in your monopoly of violence is just as cowardly as planting bombs and drone strikes

aye, so it did
where's the proof?
Starting on Christmas Eve, many German and British troops sang Christmas carols to each other across the lines, and at certain points the Allied soldiers even heard brass bands joining the Germans in their joyous singing.
At the first light of dawn on Christmas Day, some German soldiers emerged from their trenches and approached the Allied lines across no-man’s-land, 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. There was even a documented case of soldiers from opposing sides playing a good-natured game of soccer.

There is photographic evidence that the German and British troops had a ceasefire on Xmas day. They met in no man's land and exchanged gifts and drinks, it's hardly a stretch of the imagination to suggest that someone may have started a kick about in such circumstances.
