    I learnt that children who left the school and went to WW1 left school at 12-13 of age, they had different handwriting to what we have today.
    My flavor of ice-cream was chocolate because it’s so tasty!

    I had Vanilla ice cream with strawberry sauce.
    I also learnt that every soldier from York got a bar of chocolate sent from the mayor of York.

    I learnt that the soldiers could not punctuate or spell their letters right because they left school at the age of 13 – 14

    I learnt that the mayor of York sent boxes of chocolate to the soldiers that lived here. The ice-cream I got was vanilla, IT WAS VERY TASTY!.

    I learnt that as well as being very grateful to the Mayor of York for sending them chocolate for Christmas, the soldiers in WWI were very loyal to him; they wrote things like ‘I hope to remain yours sincerely’.

    I learnt a lot about the soldiers, water marks and different types of letters that were sent to The Lord Mayor Of York on the Christmas of 1914. I had hokey pokey ice cream and enjoyed reading he letters as much as eating the ice creams.
