A Christmas Number One for peace, or just for Simon Cowell? https://youtube/watch?v=SNmugOpDhW8 Links to buy: stopwar.org.uk/video/the-peace-collective-all-together-now-on-the-centenary-of-the-1914-ww1-christmas-truce All profits from the release will go to the British Red Cross* and the Shorncliffe Trust**, which aims to preserve the archaeology around Shorncliffe in Kent including Napoleonic, Victorian, WW1 and WW2 remains currently under threat of being sold off to Wimpey. ‘Shorncliffe redoubt has the unique attribute of being the original home of the modern British Army. It is here around 1802 that Sir John Moore and others set up the training camp which trained the world famous 95th Foot and then introduced the light infantry methods of fighting to whole regiments for the first time. The scale of light infantry training was really a world first and Shorncliffe could therefore be seen as a World Heritage site. Its importance is immense and rather than destruction, should merit restoration of the remains, and some sort of heritage trail which would undoubtedly draw welcome visitors to the area.’ * blogs.redcross.org.uk/fundraising-and-events/2014/12/together-now-christmas-number-one/ ** shorncliffe-trust.org.uk/peacecollective.html
