War Against War

While the twenty-first century was being born, Bertie Felstead, at the age of 106, lay dying. His lifespan touched three centuries and he was the sole survivor of an extraordinary soccer match played on Christmas Day 1915. The match was between British and German soldiers on an improvised pitch between the trenches.

A ball appeared, who knows from where, and it started rolling, who knows how. The battlefield became a playing field. Enemies threw down their weapons and raced to control the ball.

The soldiers played on until furious officers managed to remind them they had come to kill and to die.

Once the soccer truce was quashed, the butchery began anew, but the ball had opened the door to a fleeting world where men obliged to hate each other met face to face.
