230 THE BROCKLESBY HOUNDS. 



was lying in an ambulance-waggon prostrate with typhoid. 

 Four prominent followers of the hounds also volunteered 

 for service in the Imperial Yeomanry, and of these two 

 found soldiers' graves far from their Lincolnshire homes. 

 Sergeant Alfred Tomlinson (of Castlethorpe), of the 

 Sherwood Rangers, fell at Lindley, a victim to white-flag 

 treachery, and Lance-Corporal Godfrey Webb, of Melton 

 Ross, and of the same regiment, a good man to hounds, 

 a keen sportsman, and most popular with every one he 

 came in contact with, succumbed to enteric in Kroonstadt 

 Hospital. Mr. F. Riggall of Croxton also served in the 

 Rangers, and Mr. H. H. Errington-Josse of Grimsby, who 

 went out in Paget's Horse, obtained a commission in the 

 New Zealand Artillery, and afterwards in the Rhodesian 

 Field Force. 



The Lincolnshire Regiment of Imperial Yeomanry. 



Lincolnshire has always been well to the fore with 

 regard to the volunteer forces, and there are now a regi- 

 ment of Imperial Yeomanry, several batteries of volunteer 

 artillery, and three volunteer rifle regiments in the county. 

 During the first quarter of the century the then Lord 

 Yarborough commanded the county yeomanry, largely 

 recruited from the Brocklesby country, and, in later 

 years, the father of the present earl raised a troop of 

 Light Horse in his country, the idea being that the rest 

 of Lincolnshire should complete the establishment of the 

 regiment. However, as this was not done, and one 

 troop was of little value, the present Lord Yarborough 

 decided to disband it. A new regiment of Imperial 

 Yeomanry was formed in 1901, the Brocklesby, the Bel voir, 

 the South Wold, and the Burton each contributing a 

 squadron. Lord Yarborough has been appointed colonel 

 of the regiment, the captain of D (the Brocklesby) 

 Squadron being Sir Berkeley Sheffield, with Mr. Tom 

 Sutclifte as subaltern.
