This original Task & Purpose comic by Matt Battaglia is in the spirit of the season and tells the story of the Christmas Truce of 1914 during World War I when German and British soldiers laid down their arms and met in no man’s land to play a spirited game of soccer. It is an incredible story that’s hard to imagine ever occurring.
