Nor were there really any subsequent Christmas Truces in WWI. Quoth Wikipedia:<p>&quot;In December 1915, there were explicit orders by the Allied commanders to forestall any repeat of the previous Christmas truce. Individual units were encouraged to mount raids and harass the enemy line, whilst communicating with the enemy was discouraged by artillery barrages along the front line throughout the day. The prohibition was not completely effective, however, and a small number of brief truces occurred.&quot;<p>It amazes me that the people in charge were so threatened by this truce that they did their best to ensure it couldn&#x27;t happen again.
