I always admired Charles Schultz for bringing a bit of WWI history to the public light via the comic strip. Ah, Snoopy vs. The Red Baron. Lee and I are big Snoopy/Charlie Brown fans too.
There were such truces during other wars too including the Civil War. I always enjoyed listening to Shelby Foote's (rest his soul) tales of soldiers from the north and south, calling out to each other.
"Hey Yank!"
