Music on the Front Lines | All Is Calm
Music had a powerful presence during World War I. In these videos from All is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914, tune in to hear the songs soldiers sang on the front lines during the war and around Christmastime. Explore how music filled the trenches, and consider how it helped the soldiers cope with the war and create connections with the enemy. Students will also have an opportunity to consider how music may connect with mental health, both for the soldiers during the war and in their own lives.
