LIVE AND LET LIVE

The Western Front is usually perceived as an arena of bitter enmity and unceasing carnage, but this is not the full story. Any front that stretched for 500 miles - from the Channel ports to the Swiss border - couldn't be continually busy, and some sectors were much quieter than others.

In such places, soldiers found ways to minimise the dangers they faced through an understanding that came to be known as 'live and let live'.
