The Sherwood Foresters (Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiment) was a line infantry regiment of the British Army in existence for just under 90 years, from 1881 to 1970. In 1970, the regiment was amalgamated with the Worcestershire Regiment to form the Worcestershire and Sherwood Foresters Regiment, which in 2007 was amalgamated with the Cheshire Regiment and the Staffordshire Regiment (Prince of Wales s) to form the present Mercian Regiment. The lineage of the Sherwood Foresters is now continued by The Mercian Regiment.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the brave soldiers of The Sherwood Foresters as they serve in the forward areas of the British Expeditionary Force during World War Two. Taken on 1st May 1940, this image portrays Major L. S. Temple, adorned with well-deserved decorations, diligently map checking with fellow officers. The Sherwood Foresters, also known as the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiment, had an illustrious existence spanning nearly nine decades from 1881 to 1970. Their legacy lives on through The Mercian Regiment after amalgamating with other regiments over time. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness these valiant men immersed in their duties amidst the chaos and uncertainty of war. As they strategize and plan their next moves using maps spread across a table before them, one can only imagine the weight of responsibility that rests upon their shoulders. This photograph not only serves as a testament to the courage and resilience displayed by The Sherwood Foresters but also provides us with a glimpse into an era defined by conflict and sacrifice. It is a poignant reminder of those who fought selflessly for our freedom during one of humanity's darkest chapters. As we reflect upon this image today, let us honor these heroes who dedicated themselves to protecting our values and way of life while remembering that their sacrifices should never be forgotten or taken for granted.
