About the author
W. C. C. Weetman is known for The Sherwood Foresters in the Great War 1914–1919, a regimental history first published in 1920. Library and public-domain catalog records located during research consistently connect him with that book, and they suggest that this is the work for which he is chiefly remembered.
Contemporary material linked to the book identifies him as Captain W. C. C. Weetman and describes him as someone who saw the battalion from several viewpoints during the war, including as a company officer, as adjutant, and later from brigade headquarters. That helps explain the book’s practical, observant tone and its strong interest in how the unit trained, fought, and adapted.
Reliable biographical detail beyond that is limited in the sources I could confirm, so it is safest to describe him as a British military writer associated with the Sherwood Foresters and with one notable World War I history rather than claim a fuller life story that is not clearly documented.
