This is from a wonderful folk song and book by John McCutcheon
A video slide show of a class project in which students made a slide show based on the story of Christmas in the Trenches.
Here, McCutcheon sings and talks about reactions to his song in Europe.
McCutcheon wrote a wonderful illustrated kids book, which I have been reading that last leading up to Remembrance Day (Canada). The book comes with a CD, containing his song, as well as German and English versions of Silent Night.

McCutcheon first heard the story of Christmas truces some twenty years ago and was inspired to make the song and story book.
