The song, "Silent Night/Stille Nacht" is the song most associated with the December 1914 Christmas Truces. However, there were many instances of truce along the Western Front, and a wide variety of hymns were sung. One participant stated that "O Come All Ye Faithful" was the hymn which started both sides singing together in his area. Other songs were "God Save the King", "Deutschland Uber Alles", and "It's a Long Way To Tipperary".
They probably sang many carols, while in the trenches of World War I. But a popular carol of both sides was 'Silent Night' (Stille Nacht).

No, they were not, but they both were performing in the same era, both were black blues vocalists, and both were heard on the radio in the early 1920s.

Silent Night
It was during World War 1 that fighting stopped in the trenches and both fighting sides played football. It was called the Christmas Truce and took place in 1914.
a cease fie in the trenches, soldiers from both sides put down their guns, and ate, drank and celebrated together before retunring to their trenches.
They were the western front. But the different trenches were front line trenches, communication trenches.
The trenches of WW I were unpleasant at any time of year; at Christmas they were cold and snowy, in addition to their usual unpleasant features. Trench warfare could accurately be described as a prolonged nightmare.
I assume the question is about the trenches used in World War I? Both sides of the conflict reached a stalemate and dug protective trenches. The number of soldiers killed and maimed (on both sides) was tremendous and proved the futility and waste of warfare, as frontal attacks moved the front back and forth.
trenches... trench warfare.... what exactly do you need?
The soldiers themselves dug out the trenches.
Both sides played football.
Trench foot and dysentery were the major conditions found in the trenches. Filled with standing stagnant cold water, soldiers on both sides suffered from foot rot and lack of sanitation.
Both sides played football.
I believe that on a famous occasion an informal truce was declared on Christmas day during which British and German troops had a 'kickabout' with a football in no mans land between the trenches. This did not happen again as the higher echelons on both sides considered such behavior to be detrimental to their war effort. No Christmas cheer there.
