Boys from Stotfold Council School with
fruit and vegetables for the navy [Z1306/115/19/4]
Sunday 12th March 1916: The village of Stotfold has responded
admirably to an appeal to provide oranges for the Royal Navy, sending a grand
total of 3,078 to the Fleet. The boys of the Council Schools gave nearly 500
oranges, while the girls and infants of the Day Schools gave five shillings and
seven pence to the collection. The district as a whole has sent over 15,000
oranges.
