Peek in the History 20 Classroom
Mar. 16, 2013
The History 20 class made use of the snow this year and completed a reconstruction of the trenches on the western front in WWI. Once finished they used the trenches to recreate and film the events surrounding the Christmas Truce of 1914 which saw soldiers from Britain, France, and Germany lay down their arms on Christmas eve and observe and unofficial truce. Many found it difficult to return to war the next day. The History 20 video can be viewed on youtube on RJC’s channel or by searching ‘Christmas Truce - RJC History Class’.
