Children look at a letter sent from a soldier during World War Two. Using the censorship rules provided, they highlight parts of the letter that would have been censored by the military. Now can they rewrite the letter so that it would pass the censors?

An engaging task for Y5 and Y6, inspired by fictional events from 'Duty Calls: Dunkirk' by James Holland.
