The Royal Warwicks arrived in Coggeshall in 1914 and were billeted here for some time. Here they are shown, three of the sergeants in the lead, passing the Porto Bello pub on Bridge Street. They were heading for Kelvedon railway station and then the trenches in France where the regiment suffered terrible loses. One of the survivors, had enjoyed his stay here so much that he returned for his annual holiday for years afterwards.
