I have a feeling the answer is almost too simple - in the early part of the Great War the Foresters formed a Gloucestershire Battalion - 13th - - recruited by Harry Webb MP. The War Office sent Harry Webb back to the Forest in the later stages of the war to raise members for the Worcestershire Regiment.
