this is the photo of Thomas Wood who lived until 90 yrs(wifes grandad) Years ago i am sure that he told me he was in the Sherwood Foresters and possibly didnt serve outside uk.I may be wrong on that bit, but is the photo any clue ? have checked MIC but cannot be certain which one is him ! He originated in Quorn,Loughborough(Leics).

The badge appears to be Army Service Corps{a Garter Star with an Imperial Crown @ the top,with ASC in the centre}

The badge of the Notts & Derbyshire Regt is a Crowned Cross with Scroll [possibly he transferred to the N&D from the ASC or vice ~versa]

If he didn't serve Overseas then it is unlikely that a Medal Index Card is in existence;as No Medals=No Card was needed

That is definitely not a Notts & Derby cap badge.

He may have transferred to the Sherwood Foresters in some point or even transferred to this Regiment previously bein a Forester

As Andrew says, definitely not a Forester, sorry
