23 -29 August 1914 Summer holidays continue

Ted’s diary returns to recording the events of his school holidays which seem to include numerous visits to family and friends of his parents. The diary continues in similar vein until his return to school on  Tuesday September 15^th. After that the most regular entry is “I stopped to play football at school."   There is no mention of the War although a couple of school football matches against military teams are recorded:

Sat 21 Nov 1914 Our school played Cheshire Regiment. We won 6-1.

Sat 28 Nov 1914 Our school were beaten by the Fifth Cheshires 3-1

This is the final entry from the diary to be posted.
