The holiday season was fast approaching at the end of 1915. When Christmas arrived, there was temporary peace as artillery fire ceased for a few hours. On one occasion, during the Christmas truce of 1915, some German soldiers wished the Canadian troops a Merry Christmas. They would return with their holiday yuletide. The German soldiers waved back at the Canucks, offering to share some cigars. However, a  Canadian soldier would answer back and end the truce by shelling two German soldiers.
