In December 1914, Chris Rea flew to the Western Front, with several boxes of chocolate bars and cigarettes, in an effort to cheer up the troops, and see conditions for himself, he hoped to see his grandad and great uncles as young men too, after getting safely into the trenches he heard singing coming from the German lines, after some singing backwards and forwards between the British and German troops, he noticed some soldiers getting out of the trenches and having a get together, remembering he had a newly purchased football in his Time Machine, he went to fetch it, organising a game of 100 a side, with his Middlesbrough FC fan shop purchase, afterwards he got both sides together for another singsong as he had also brought a guitar, he finished off the festivities with Driving Home For Christmas, which was remembered fondly by many veterans of the Great War
