The holiday effect took place in Korea and music was played across no mans land and the shooting died down and a friend of mine who was a sniper with the PPCLI related this story to me/..
Christmas eve with the music going some Chinese snipers snuck out into no mans land across from the Canadian lines..
They brought parcels of rice and little Chinese flags and left them out in the open..
Figguring a trap,but bored,daring and curious a Canadian sniper team snuck out and carefully retrieved the little packages..They were not impeded or shot at and all was quiet..
Once back safely back at their line and knowing full well the Chinese were watching they snuck back out with some rations and some hastily dug up goodies and snuck back out and left them where the Chinese snipers had left the rice..
American troops on the flanks were watching this and when the Canadians snuck back to their lines and watched while the Chinese sniper team crawled out to retrieve their Christmas gifts..
When they got to the pile of goodies the Canadian snipers took them out..
My friend said that it was instant bedlam..
Chinese ,North Korean opened up on the Canadian lines as well as the American troops on the flanks who were pissed at the Canadians for stiring up the Chinese and the unsportsman like ethics of the Canadians//
Any of the ex PPCLI reading this may know the story .
