White Christmas Guaranteed On Western Front
Heavy snowfall on the western front guarantees a white Christmas for American troops yet holidays are shadowed by the fighting ahead. Turkey is sent to front lines, many will dine on canned rations, while parcels from home pour in though some units report missing deliveries. Christmas cheer spreads as British families host Americans and hospitals host dances, with 700 British youngsters to be feted at a U. S. hospital party.
