It was reported 26th May 1917 that Lance-corporal Charles Joseph Cox was killed in France whilst giving attention to a wounded man. The report stated that his wife was then licensee of the Coach & Horses.
Mr. Cox had enlisted at the age of 18 and had served through the South African war, gaining six bars to his medal.
After his army service he became a head steward with P&O Steamers before returning to Yarmouth and the position of manager at the Coach & Horses. He was recalled to army duty in June 1916 and was sent to France at Christmas.

His father had served in the army for some 35 years and had received the Egyptian Medal, the Khedive's Star, the Long Service Medal and the king's Veteran Medal.

His grandfather served in the Crimea, the Turkish War, the Kaffir War and the Indian Mutiny.

An uncle had served on the Indian Frontier and another was trumpeter to Lord Roberts in the Great March from Cabul to Candahar.

His great-grandfather served at Waterloo.

George Kerrison arrived in Yarmouth from Liverpool in August 1857 where he posed as a Crimean Hero who `had never clinched from his post throughout the campaign.' Attired in the garb of a sailor he had paid special attention to the local landladies, telling them that he had a Golden Deposit of £490 in one of the local banks, some had loaned him between 5d and 5s. At the house of Mrs Thurlow he had consumed a pint of beer, subsequently returning and stealing a towel. Constable Covell had apprehended him whereupon the accused claimed it had been given to him and he had put it to his bosom and inadvertently forgotten it. Kerrison was sentenced to six months' hard labour.

On Wednesday February 2nd 1910, the transfer of licence to Mrs. Hammonds was requested from Mr. Lack. At the Police Court it was heard that the licence had been assigned to Mr. Lark by Mr. F. H. Nichols, but Lark was not the registered licensee.
There was much argument by the officers of the court, including a statement that it was not thought fit that a woman of 75 should hold the licence. It was however, granted to Mrs. Hammonds at the end of the day.
