Scope and content

These letters of thanks were received from members of the armed forces from York on active service during the First World War, following the decision by the council to send each of them a present of a bar of chocolate for Christmas 1914. As a result the letters are more commonly referred to as the Chocolate Letters. The letters are individually numbered and arranged alphabetically by surname.
