 In 1970 the Worcestershire Regiment was itself amalgamated with the Sherwood Foresters (Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiment) to form the Worcestershire and Sherwood Foresters Regiment.In another amalgamation in 2007, the Worcestershire and Sherwood Foresters Regiment became part of a new large regiment, the Mercian Regiment.The facings worn on the red coats of the regiment were green by 1742, when they were illustrated in "A Representation of the Clothing of His Majesty's Household and all the Forces upon the Establishments of Great Britain and Ireland", commissioned by the Duke of Cumberland.
