Sherwood Foresters (Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire) Regiment Anodised Button, 1953–1970 Pattern, a 25.5mm British Army regimental uniform button associated with the Sherwood Foresters (Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire) Regiment during the post-war period. Manufactured in anodised aluminium, the lightweight button represents the transition towards modern British Army uniform insignia following the Second World War.
The Sherwood Foresters had a long-established association with Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, tracing their regimental traditions through the historic 45th and 95th Regiments of Foot. The 1953–1970 pattern covers the period from the accession of Queen Elizabeth II through to the regiment’s amalgamation in 1970 with the Worcestershire Regiment to form the Worcestershire and Sherwood Foresters Regiment. This makes the button particularly relevant to collectors of post-war British Army militaria, Sherwood Foresters insignia, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire military history and British regimental uniform buttons.
Anodised buttons were valued for their lightweight construction and practical use on service dress. This example is suitable for collections covering the Sherwood Foresters, post-1953 British Army uniform and Commonwealth military buttons.
