As he belts out the next verse, a Scottish bagpipe interjects only to continue the carol. Soon, the song ends. Still wary of the other, the Scot plays the opening tune of "O Come, All Ye Faithful" (Latin:"Adeste Fidelsss"). An invitation has been extended. The German responds with an a cappella of the same opening. Across No Man's Land, a Scottish-German collaboration fills the air; a perfect ice breaker during winter in the trenches. At its centre, three lieutenants meet. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10356/61049 | Schools: | School of Humanities and Social Sciences | Fulltext Permission: | restricted | Fulltext Availability: | With Fulltext |
