As Christmas approached in the early months of World War I, British and German troops stationed on the Western Front took it upon themselves to stage an unofficial cease-fire.

What steps did officials later take to prevent such a cease-fire from happening again? Discuss (http://forum.thefreedictionary.com/postst71941_The--Christmas-Truce--of-World-War-I.aspx)
