The 7th battalion wore their own badge. However after 1916 the new recruits would have been provided with the standard Hampshire badge so there would have been a mixture especially in the 3rd Battalion.
His is a lower number would suggest 1st Bn but his Ancestry record online confirms it.
I have checked on the IWM site and must correct myself: TF did get those 2 medals for overseas garrison service which ties in with those he had. He would not have got the star as he was not in a theatre of war.
