Scope and content
Private Edmund Skelton and Private Thomas Porritt of D Company, 2nd Yorkshire Regiment, were serving with 21st Brigade, 7th Division of the British Expeditionary Force. The handwriting suggests the letter was written by Edmund Skelton who states that such a gift from the old City is proof they are not forgotten by people at home. He adds that the boxes are not only appreciated now, but 'will be treasured by us (or ours) long after this war is over'.
