N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

The handwriting and the way of writing the date are the same as other sheets by the collector W H C

I would guess this collector is W H Coleman, as http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/279970/?image same month and area. Most of his specimens are from Herts and are largely aquatics. All but 5 of the 'WHC' specimens have been edited as Coleman, totalling about 100 from Herts labelled both WHC and W H Coleman

..and the unusual date style 'year/month/day' seems a characteristic of Coleman labels.
