This is a tale they tell of another Christmas, a Christmas nineteen years ago. The Great War was over. War weary soldiers and officers were at last been allowed to rest, to enjoy such recreation as soldiers might find. Leave areas were established in various parts of France and at intervals individuals were sent from the stations of their organizations to these areas there to rest and refresh themselves for a brief period. Their story properly begins on Christmas night 1918. A leave train was coming to a halt in the station at Ville Franche.
