Cannot help, but a bit of advice

Change your title to something like

Sherwood Forresters info required

You will then, hopefully, get more replies as there is something in the title to catch the eye.

And although too late now, there are dedicated miliary boards on here.  And I can tell you there is a wealth of experience to be found.

Good luck

I can't see a medal card for F Lee with that no. or in the Sherwood Foresters. Nothing on the war graves site either.
Where did this come from.

OK found him.
He's listed as Frederick Lee Notts & Derbys Regt.
Enlisted 8/1/15 but doesn't have the 14/15 Star so wasn't overseas until 1916 at the earliest.
