Text in original Preserved Tanks In The Netherlands publication:
A Canadian Ram tank was originally acquired by the Sherwood Rangers Association for display at Groesbeek, and 17th/21st Lancers had undertaken to restore it for display on a plinth. A Sherman, however, was felt to be more suitable, so the Bovington Tank Museum acquired a plinthed M4A1 of Royal Scots Dragoon Guards from the School of Infantry at Warminster and it was shipped to 17th/21st Lancers in about 1988. (Source: Bovington Vehicle Record). Before its time in England it had served with the Portuguese Army (source: Bevrijdingsmuseum via L. Delsing). In the summer of 2010 it returned to the UK for a cosmetic restoration and repaint. It was put on a low-loader on Wednesday 19 May and transported to Rotterdam, then on board a vessel bound for York, England. The work was done by apprentices of TEi at Wakefield. It returned to Groesbeek on 10 September. (Source: AFVNDB/Gelderlander/BBC). At the beginning of the Second World War the Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry (Nottinghamshire Yeomanry) was a non-mechanised cavalry unit, and it was not until the end of 1941 that it was equipped with tanks. A year later, in the Western Desert, the Regimental HQ tanks were appropriately named Robin Hood, Little John, Friar Tuck (all Grant tanks) and Maid Marion (a Crusader). The name Robin Hood was perpetuated in a Regimental HQ Sherman until 1945. (Source: B.T. White/British Tank Markings and Names). This Grizzly has been painted to represent the Sherman tank Robin Hood. As well as the name it has the markings “996” in white on a red rectangle that is the Sherwood Rangers insignia, and a Red Fox mask on a yellow background that indicates 8th Armoured Brigade (the unit’s parent brigade). This Grizzly is mounted on a low concrete plinth, and has a plaque in front that reads:
