Soldiers during First World War. Royal Warwickshire Regiment (information from Ian Hook,formerly of Essex Regiment Museum). Marching in Newland Street. Building behind is 3 Newland Street (Freebornes farm). Also visible both sides are cedar trees in the Grove, and a bit of the Grove house itself.
Probably the same occasion as M1897 and M1899, which came with it, and as M2190 and M2191, in which case it is the 2nd/7th Warwicks, who were in Witham March 1915 to March 1916
See the post headed “First World War. Territorial Soldiers …”, for detailed information about these soldiers by Ian Hook, formerly curator of the Essex Regiment Museum.
