As an 18-year-old soldier serving in the Black Watch regiment, he heard the guns fall silent along the Western Front on Christmas Day as British and German soldiers emerged from the trenches to greet each other in no-man's-land; they sang carols, swapped cigarettes and played soccer until fighting resumed that afternoon.
