World War One Christmas Day Football Match Recreated In Epic Sainsbury's Advert
by Guest Thu Nov 13, 2014 6:10 am
Sainsbury's has recreated one of the most famous moments from World War One in its 2014 Christmas advert, which is a tie-up with armed forces charity Royal British Legion.
The ad, which launched on Wednesday night, revisits the 'Christmas truce' football matches (albeit with plenty of artistic licence) that took place between enemy British and German soldiers outside the trenches in December 1914.
The truce was a series of spontaneous ceasefires and friendly gestures between the opposing sides across mainland Europe, and one of the most enduring symbols of hope during the war.
