1 item

Major Richard Digby Johnson of 2nd Royal Dublin Fusiliers, was serving with the British Expeditionary Force in France. He states that he received the gift in the trenches, adding that 'chocolate is always much appreciated here', and that the box will be valued by him as a souvenir. They all look forward to the mails and feel they 'owe a great deal to those at home' who have done so much for their comfort. He ends by saying it is a long time since he has lived in York and he is grateful the 'dear old City' remembers those connected with it.
