That's Sainsbury's, Poppa!
It has caused some contraversy here - 258 complaints and rising.
"Cynical use of WWI" apparently.
I won't post the link as the only one I can find is the Daily Mail which is a nasty right wing loony paper. However, the BBC, which I trust rather more, broadcast the fact last night.

4 shops for Cats Protection & Prospect Hospice
My Postcard Shop
BK Stamps for Philatelic listings
& Yarnalong for craft patterns
and
Lotzabitz -anything that doesn't belong in one of the other shops.
I was rather disgusted when the name Sainsbury came up at the end of the ad ... really not impressed at all!!! Wouldn't bother to complain but gives me and perhaps others a poor impression of that particular shop and its attitude

First off, sorry about the mis-spelling. Secondary--I fail to see the controversy. I thought it was a rather nice presentation of actual events that took place during WWI. I did not mean to upset anyone and if anyone wants, I will remove this post.
Please read this article before condemning Sainsburys..

Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it is about learning to dance in the rain.
I wouldn't have described it as beautiful, maybe poignant would be better but the message I got from the advert was forgiveness and peace and goodwill to ALL men which is what Christmas is supposed to be about.
I suppose it just seems odd to us that Sainsbury's are attaching themselves to that event.
Going slightly off topic, a similar thing happened to my father in WW11. He sat in a ditch in Arnhem with a German soldier, one of them had cigarettes and the other chocolate which they shared, together with stories of themselves and their families until the German said 'You had better get going Tommy as my unit are just arriving' They had exchanged addresses and sent Christmas cards to each other for many years after the war.
