Why did it happen and did British and German soldiers really play football in no-man's land?

This program will be presented by historian Bruce Tucker who lectures for the OLLI-RU adult education program at Rutgers University. Bruce has been part of the faculty of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Rutgers University since 2009 and is a recipient of the Marlene Pomper distinguished teaching award in 2015.
