Answer: Captain Jim Macpherson of the British army who was fighting a war against the Germans had written the letter to his wife Connie on 26th December, 1914. Question 2: Why was the letter written — what was the wonderful thing that had happened? Answer: Jim Macpherson wrote the letter to his wife Connie and described the wonderful event that happened on the day of Christmas. Although a war was going on between the two armies-the British and the Germans, they celebrated Christmas and played a friendly football match together. Question 3: What jobs did Hans Wolf and Jim Macpherson have when they were not soldiers? Answer: Before joining the armed forces, Hans Wolf from Dusseldorf used to play the cello in an orchestra and Jim Macpherson was a school teacher from Dorset. Question 4: Had Hans Wolf ever been to Dorset? Why did he say he knew it? Answer: No, Hans had never been to Dorset in the past. He had learned about Dorset from school and read several English books. One of his favourite books was ‘Far from the Madding Crowd’ written by Thomas Hardy. Question 5: Do you think Jim Macpherson came back from the war? How do you know this? Answer: No, it appears that Jim Macpherson never returned home from the war. Perhaps, due to this reason his wife Connie had preserved all his letters carefully.
