William V. Hawes first entered the French theatre of war in the rank of Sergeant in the 3rd Battalion, Monmouthshire Regiment in mid-February 1915. His MIC entry further reveals that his 1914-15 trio was re-issued in late 1922, having been returned, it appears, as a result of the rank of Private having been used on the originals.
