Soldiers Fraternize.

Whilst the truce lasted the Yankees and the ‘Johnny Rebs’ in countless numbers flocked to the neutral grounds, and spent the time in chatting and sight-seeing. The stench, however, was quite strong, and it required a good nose and a better stomach to carry one through the ordeal. About 9 o'clock, the burial being completed, the officers sent the men back to the trenches on each side. The officers bade each other adieu and returned to their respective lines.

Richmond, VA. 1908.
