WW1 chocs go for tasty £3k

-

NINE 103-year-old chocolate bars and mementos have sold for £3,000.

The treats were in gift tins sent to troops in Ypres, northern France, in 1915.

They originally belonged to Cpl Richard Bullimore, of Leicesters­hire Regiment, who later joined the police and died in 1967.

They were sold by Eddisons CJM in Scunthorpe, Lincs, and spokeswoma­n Jo Coote said: “The chocolate looks in pretty good shape but I wouldn’t be tempted.”
