Nottinghamshire Yeomanry (Sherwood Rangers) (d.21st Aug 1915)  John Milbanke aged 42 is commemorated on the Helles Memorial in Gallipoli, Turkey. 10th Bart. he was the son of the late Sir Peniston Milbanke, D.L., J.P. and Elizabeth Milbanke; husband of Leila Milbanke, of 19, Manchester Square, London. Served with the 10th Hussars in the South African War.
He had received V.C. during the Second Boer War in 1900.
An extract taken from the London Gazette, dated 6th July, 1900, records the following:- "On the 5th January 1900, during a reconnaissance near Colesberg, (S. Africa), Sir John Milbanke, when retiring under fire with a small patrol of the 10th Hussars, notwithstanding the fact that he had just been severely wounded in the thigh, rode back to the assistance of one of the men whose pony was exhausted, and who was under fire from the Boers who had dismounted. Sir John Milbanke took the man up on his own horse under a most galling fire and brought him safely back to camp."
