Bromsgrove Preparatory School – Local Schools organise 1914 Christmas Day Truce Match

09 Jan 2015

Bromsgrove Preparatory School played in a WWI re-enactment football match in December 2014 to commemorate the Christmas Truce which took place between British and German Troops in No Man’s Land on Christmas Day 1914.

Year 8 pupils from the Old Station Road School played against North Bromsgrove High School. The Last Post was played before the match began by Year 5 pupil Sophie Meadows from Bromsgrove Preparatory School.

It was a truly fitting commemoration for the centenary of the 1914 match.
