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.

No collector, vague location

[Roger Horton]

The only hadwriting I have seen like this is associated with specimens collected by Rev Douglas Montague Heath, although he usually had a frame drawn round them. Even so this would not help identify which Coombe Wood was intended.

[Tom Humphrey]

There are at least four ambiguous Coombe Wood specimens from that date.

All the D M Heath specimens have been from BIRM (and consistently have framed labelling), so I'm doubtful that it's him.
