AbstractHistoryArchive Description

On a still night in the trenches, the smell of cigars and beer wafts over from the German trenches to the Australian trenches, followed by the singing of romantic love songs. The Australian soldiers respond with a parody of the song, and the Germans, entering into the spirit of the occasion, reward them by lobbing a 'Stink Bomb' into their trench.
