17 December 1917: A thirty-day armistice between the Central Powers & Bolshevik-led Russia, agreed on 15 December, came into effect, providing for a commission to be set up to restore postal & trade relations, & for negotiations to continue on a permanent peace treaty; Vierbund forces remained at-the-ready along the front, not yet able to be withdrawn & redeployed to the Western Front.
Lest we forget.
