Worcestershire and Sherwood Foresters

The Worcestershire and Sherwood Foresters Regiment (29th/45th Foot) is an infantry regiment of the British Army. It was formed in 1970 through the amalgamation of two other regiments:

  • The Worcestershire Regiment
  • The Sherwood Foresters (Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiment)

In 2004, as part of the restructuring of the infantry, it was announced that the Worcestershire and Sherwood Foresters would be amalgamated with the 22nd (Cheshire) Regiment and the Staffordshire Regiment to form the new Mercian Regiment.
