Question Sherwood Foresters - need help

Hi guys,

Wonder if you can help? I have a photograph of my grandfather, Fred Booth, taken just before WW2 wearing the dress or parade uniform of the Sherwood Foresters. I can clearly see the cap badge so I am sure of the regiment, but he has a pair of collar badges which look a bit like exploding grenades - would that be right? He has one chevron strip on his right arm - would that mean he was a corporal?

Also, I have no idea what his regimental number was - would the regimental museum be able to help?

These must sound like the questions of a complete novice, but I've got to start somewhere! Thanks in advance

Mike Booth
