M.I.D. London Gazette 5 April 1916:

‘Euphrates Operations, 26th June to 25th July, 1915.’

Henry Scrase served during the Great War with the 1/4th Battalion, Hampshire Regiment (T.F.) in the Mesopotamian theatre of war from 18 March 1915 (Wounded and M.I.D.). Scrase advanced to Sergeant and was awarded the T.E.M. in February 1930. After the war he resided near Penzance in Cornwall, and died in August 1961.

MIC gives medals as ‘Rep’ld Mar 1967’, and it is likely that the ‘R’ for replacement issue has been removed from the medals listed above.
