Peckris Posted December 26, 2010 Posted December 26, 2010 Actually guys, this is a bit retarded because there are so many instances of this on eBay and you guys should find something better to do with your xmas time! Like stuff the turkey or wife or something... Actually it had ended by the time I got round to messaging him, but by none of us doing so we are our own worst enemies. If everybody messaged sellers mis-describing their coins, then its incidence, although unlikely to be totally eliminated, would at least dramatically reduce. Yes there are many instances of it on e-bay, but that doesn't make it right. I know it's a bit heavy for something as minor as this, but to quote Edmund Burke; 'All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing'.Q.E.D.Hear hear, Derek! Well said [shuffles his own soapbox sheepishly out of sight]yes a war did stop at christmas, December 25th 1914. german soldiers started to sing "Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht" (silent night to you and me). recognizing the tune, english soldiers joined in, presents of tobacco and chocolate and handshakes were exchanged and several games of soccer were enjoyed ( i expect the brits lost on penalties).Hostilities resumed at 8-30 am on the 26th.Evidence has been found and observations made that the truce was observed every christmas of ww1.Famous example! Sadly, all too rare. yes a war did stop at christmas, December 25th 1914. german soldiers started to sing "Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht" (silent night to you and me). recognizing the tune, english soldiers joined in, presents of tobacco and chocolate and handshakes were exchanged and several games of soccer were enjoyed ( i expect the brits lost on penalties).Hostilities resumed at 8-30 am on the 26th.Evidence has been found and observations made that the truce was observed every christmas of ww1.I believe the war didn't stop as in stop, it did continue for another 4 years skiI think we knew what he meant though Quote
ski Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 Famous example! Sadly, all too rare. Armistice of Steyer ended the fighting in the revolutionary wars on the......wait for it....WAIT FOR IT......................December 25th 1800.you know were real lucky to not only be able to look back on history, maybe even learn from its mistakes, but as coin collectors....even hold a little piece of that history in our hands.
