When the Guns Fall Silent
This is the story of two friends, Jack and Harry, both keen footballers, both recruited for the army and sent to fight in the trenches in the First World War. Award-winning author, James Riordan, brings to life the fear and horrors that both English and Germans went through as they fought each other in the trenches. The book ends with a moving account of the football match played in the Christmas truce of 1914.
