It is not only Brit troops, you could say this about any army in a war tbh. Even the german soldiers (the ones that actuall fought, not the cowards that commanded them) saw a lot of bad stuff. What this video really tells about is actually using the time you are not on a patrol or lookout to relax and get you psychologic system back into shape. No matter what, shooting and/or killing someone is a traumatic experience for most people, even though they might have been about to shoot you or your squadmate you know better than your wive for 10+ years.

@@Competitive_Antagonist from what I've read it wasnt a universal cease fire. Only certain already quiet sections of the front did it. There were numerous incidents in which those trying to come out of their trenches were fired on by the other side and even officers shooting their own troops for disobeying orders. The French were so concerned about getting their already demoralised troops to fight that they laid artillery barrages on own sections of the line to keep them in the trenches. So its lovely story but it was still a horrible war and many soldiers died on that day whilst others were able to grab a few precious moments to regain some peace amongst the insanity.

No matter how difficult a situation may seem, your attitude can always make it better or worse. Imagine these soldiers, living in tents in a sandy desert, risking their lives. Someone had the idea to do something fun one day, I'm sure they all enjoyed themselves for a few minutes. Now we all get to watch this video as a result. Here's the thing. In life, there are always problems. It's the people around us who do even little things to add a little fun that can be the most important during adversity. I always strive to add a little fun no matter the situation, not that I've ever been in a warzone. Anyhow, to me that's the life lesson this video illustrates perfectly.
