Scope and content
Private George William Breckon of Royal Marines, wrote from HMS New Zealand, 1st Battle Cruiser Squadron. He states that he is sending the box home as a keepsake and was pleased to see his name in York's Roll of Honour, adding that the list shows 'the City has contributed well'. He says it is 12 months since he was in York and will be pleased to come again. He has taken part in two victorious actions and they are patiently waiting for the next one, but fear the Germans will be 'too much afraid of our gunnery to venture out again'.
