	Robin Hood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Robin Hood is the archetypal English folk hero; a courteous, pious and swashbuckling outlaw of the mediæval era who, in modern versions of the legend, is famous for robbing the rich to feed the poor and fighting against injustice and tyranny.
		While in modern stories Robin Hood typically pursues justice, and the Merry Men are almost a proto-democracy, this sense of generosity and egalitarianism is absent from the medieval and Early Modern sources.
		Robin Hood himself is reputed to be buried in the grounds of Kirklees Priory near Brighouse in West Yorkshire.

	The Robin Hood Battalion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The battalion received its Victoria Cross (VC) when Temporary Captain Charles Geoffrey Vickers was awarded the VC -- the highest award for bravery in the face of the enemy -- for his actions at Hohenzollern on 14 October.
		The battalion was absorbed by the 1/7th on 31 January 1918 and the Robin Hoods reverted to their original name, the 7th (Robin Hood) Battalion.
		The battalion re-roled on 10 December 1936 and became the 42nd (The Robin Hoods, Sherwood Foresters) Anti-Aircraft Battalion, RE.

	Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood for PC Review - PC Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood Review
		All of this can make Robin Hood remarkably challenging at times, even if you set the difficulty to "easy." In addition to the tough opposition, developer Spellbound has designed some intricate maps in which you'll have trouble determining which path should be followed to your goal.
		Robin, for example, can toss coin purses to distract enemies or simply knock them out, while Will Scarlet can strangle foes to death with his bare hands, and Stutely is an expert at tying up unconscious soldiers.
		Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood's romantic depiction of Robin and his Merry Men and its clever game design really help bring the swashbuckling legend to life, much like the classic Errol Flynn movie.

		Perhaps I could check other men listed with the same battalions served in a bit further away in the medal roll, and then see if their service records survived and this may give a clue to my grandfathers service.
