Prior to the Gallipoli Campaign, involving tens of thousands of troops from Britain, Australia and New Zealand (ANZACS), troops involved in the campaign had to be marshalled at various locations across the country.

One such place was in the Dunchurch area and during this period King George V visited Dunchurch to review the troops. This photograph shows the disembarking of the King's horses at Dunchurch railway station from a pristine LNWR horse box. March 1915
