I did look a little while ago at the Roll of Honour option over at: http://www.tankmuseum.org/museum-online/roll-of-honour It does allow you to search by regiment, however the options: "Nottinghamshire Yeomanry" and "Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry" – at least for me – currently gives: YOUR SEARCH FOUND NO RESULTS. I looked up: "Trooper F. Abbott" as he was the first on the "The Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry Regimental Association" and http://www.tankmuseum.org/museum-online/roll-of-honour/recipient/B7 With the regimental designation there being: Nottinghamshire (Sherwood Rangers) Yeomanry - not currently an option I could see on the http://www.tankmuseum.org/museum-online/roll-of-honour ...drop down list.
