No,
it is most likely that Jim Macpherson did
not come back from the war. The notepaper sello-taped to the tin box
mentioned the letter contained in the box to be the “last
letter” from Jim. This was perhaps the last that Connie heard
from Jim.
While
celebrating Christmas in no man’s land,
the British and German soldiers played a game of football. Hans told
Jim that he hoped the war would also be resolved by a football match.
To this Jim replied that he wasn’t very good at football, but
would be sure of winning if they played cricket. The match was won by
the Germans. This perhaps indicates that the Germans might have also
won the actual battle between the two troops.
